water decals, that's why i found that's a real paintful job... so far the transformatino is ok, since i use the color spray (both gundam spray and tamiya spray), the quality of the paint is very good and the transformation wont' scratch it. (But i do the transformation very careful)

I notice that the color of normal sticker are far lesser obvious than the water decal...

i also used water decal. but after i did the transformation, yes some of the very small piece of decals will fall off. and u must be very kful especially the shoulder part. that why after that, i just remain it in fighter mode. did u use top coat as protection?

well, from the pic, i can see there is one transparent box look alike at behind. it could be a stand to supports while the figure standing straight.

1/100 seem nice though. anyone knw how much is this? is it 100% plastic or built with partly die cast?

the price is confirmed Rm198? if the plastic quality is tough enough like TF toys then it shouldnt be a problem to do multiple transformations

Got my hands on the 1/72super pack. Got two of them actually.

First thing: You're gonna have to take apart the hip joint and rebuilt it with the provided parts. Which really sucked for my Alto unit cos I glued that part together already. Thank God I could fit my X-Acto in there and korek korek a bit until I could pry them apart.

The armor on the legs replaces the original parts. The outer covering that you can flip open to access the lock has to be removed. The small wing as well. Now to access the lock when transforming, you need to remove the entire armor.

Original chest armor is replaced as well.

The boosters on the wings are very nice, and the nozzle of the thrusters are very very detailed, and done in metallic.

The seperate box super pack is able to fit all four VFs. The colored parts are molded in white, and they give you decals to customize it into any of the four colors. Of you can paint lar.

Transformation wise, its not quite 'perfect'. You have to remove the missile packs on the chest armor and connect them using additional parts.

In plane mode, the legs of the VF-25 doesn't fit tight to the body. Instead, it hangs a bit lower to fit the armor parts. There might be a slight problem regarding the weight -  its probably gonna slowly pull the legs down plane mode.

In mech mode. Well... the only complain is the damn boosters on the wings are so heavy, the mech can't stand on its own. I guess you will have to get the stands.

that's why from the pic, you can see the transparent box which in actual it is a stand. how much you bought it? one more concern from me. does this pack will cause the decal fall off easily since is an add on kit. you knw, if we do like maybe couple of times add on the gear and take it off later.

I only have a phone camera, and I am very VERY bad at taking pics, but I did try to take some. Posting them onto my blog, uploading is slow.

Taufufa. I got it for 90 ringgit. Also, they may call it an add on kit, but you can't really put it on and take it off easily. A lot of the parts are swapped parts, you you actually have to take the kit apart if you want to swap. Only the wing boosters are actually added on.

wow, parts swapping. that's not easy leh as i believed most of the kit builders will feel the parts are quite hard to take out after snapped in. price consider reasonable for this kit.
