Question about !/48 valk and Yamato stand

[crespo]

I purchased the Black yamato macross stand to display my 1/48 valk. Its the stand which comes with a bunch of "clips" for different models and variants. I attached the prescribed clip for the 1/48 and started to display it in plane mode (my favorite, although most boring mode ) I noticed though that i could mount the rifle in-between the hands at the rear, because the clip for the stand gets in the way! This rifle is one of the most important, if not THE most compelling item in plane mode! Has anyone with the same stand gotten around this? Am i missing something? The instructions are in Japanese, so I could only go by the few pictures that came with it. thanks in advance for any help.

Try one of the other mounting clips. You may be using the one for Gerwalk mode that wont offer the adequate clearance.

Its normal that the gunpod doesn't fit. It might be possible to fit the gunpod if you take out the 'support' clamp unit from the stand, and has your valk without the Super/Fast Pack parts. But with the Fast Pack, you won't fit the gunpod.

This is one of those threads that makes me say, "I can't believe I never tried that." I'm so certain that I've displayed my Skull-1 fully loaded before with FAST packs AND with the gunpod... but this has been many years ago before I moved and packed up my collection. I will need to dig my stand out and verify whether or not it fits... Huh... strange.
