I have to admit that my heart skips a beat whenever I see these two toys together. One is the Yamato 1/60 VF-1A of Maximilian Jenius, while the other is a Yamato 1/60 VF-1A No Paint Kit that I converted to a fictionalized VF-1A in Milia Jenius color scheme.

Got this back a couple of weeks ago from HobbyLink Japan, the 1/60 VF-1A Maximilian Jenius TV Version by Yamato Toys. This toy was initially released by Yamato Toys in 2009. Translated transformation manual of the 1/60 VF-1A Maximilian Jenius TV version can be found here.

Got a Yamato 1/60 VF-1A Maximilian Jenius TV version from HobbyLink Japan a couple of weeks back. I was going to translate the transformation manual but upon checking I realized that the manual is exactly the same as the Yamato 1/60 VF-1A Mass Production version, or more likely its the opposite? *snicker*.

Just saw this posted at Yamato Toys official site, some assembly tips for building the 1/60 No Paint Kit series of Yamato Toys by KuWa. Just copy paste the Japanese text into Google Translate so that you can understand, can’t guarantee a 100% correctness in the translation though.
