I’m building the VF-25f tornado messiah, a not so great kit…
Have you tried to transform the kit yet?
no I haven’t finished this yet, I just finished apllying the decals and re-painting some details, Ill do some dry brushing after that
Don’t say that… I have this kit, but its still in the box waiting for its time to shine. Lol
So what do you not like about the kit?
to be honest I thiunk it’s only my kit, I haven´t seen any other guys complaining about it, but, I’ve had problems in almost every aspect and in every unit of it, some parts dont fit very well, the waterslides for the tornado pack are very low quality, (the ones for the VF-25f are not that bad) I even had decals falling off whithout any friction or water or anything!!! also if you want a nice look youll need to paint alot of it, and this gets worse when I saw the poor decals for the tornado pack.
Luckily I was planning on painting it.
Did you use any of the Micro-Sol products for the decals?
yes I did.
Some decals are breaking, I didn’t noticed this until it was too late and I lost many of the little fragments so I’ll have to do some heavy drybrushing to hide the parts where the decals broke. Its a shame, this kit could be so great, but it feels rushed, even lazy, on some parts of the tornado pack bandai could easyly give us an estra piece instead of those low quality decals.
I found that some of the decals that I used Micro-Sol on have also become brittle and small fragments have come off.
Well I have the kit now… So I am going to give it my best shot. I will let you know how it goes.
Thanks Angelizer!
I’ve built the VF-25F Messiah Valkyrie Alto Custom, it wasn’t as good as i’d hoped but i still enjoyed it. Looks best in jet mode.
Personally I have kind of the opposite reaction to this kit. In jet mode I can see everything wrong with the Bandai VF-25… exposed hinges, transforming parts misaligned, blocked-off jet intakes, etc… I think it’s best in Battroid mode, where there’s no need for all those moving parts to be perfectly lined-up, and the jet intakes are supposed to be blocked off, etc…
I’m psyched for Hasegawa’s VF-25, that’ll be the one to get for fighter mode. 🙂
