Comment
An
excellent model kit, where constructing this is merely a cakewalk. I have never constructed
a model kit this easy since HGUC Zugock. Construction is snap fit and minimal sanding
required. Excellent posability that even surpass Master Gundam. Plastic color is perfect and
painting is optional.
Packaging
- 8 plastic trees. 1 rubber tree. 1 wet transfer decal, 1 sticker, 1 polycaps. 3 packs of screws
- Plastic molded in 6 colors. Painting is optional.
- Plastic quality excellent
- Some pictures on the box and a large 15 pages manual.
Weapons, Gimmicks and Accessories
- Action Frame! Enough said.
- 1 Core Lander w/ cockpit that can open. Transformable into Spiegel backpack.
- 2 Spiegel blades.
- 6 rubberized fist for various pose.
- 1 Schwarz Bruder figure
- 1 Rain Mikamura fugure
- Front cockpit hatch that can be open.
Note: Both Schwarz Bruder and Rain Mikamura figures are unpainted. There are options to construct a masked or unmasked version of Rain Mikamura.
Construction Note
Perform test fitting. Later disassemble for sanding and prep for painting. As a Master
Grade model, all parts could be taken out easily in a single phase for painting. There are
quite a number of parts to deal with and thus these are separated into 6 color groups; red,
yellow, gun metal, dark grey, grayish white and blue black.
All parts to be painted are sprayed with a base coat of Tamiya dark grey. Later all plastic parts, except for the dark blue portions, are highlighted with white for pre-shading effect. Primary color, blue black, is a mixture of blue and black (3:2). As for the secondary color, which is grayish white, is a mixture of white with a few drop of gray. For the miscellaneous sections are painted with Lemon Yellow, Red, Gun Metal and Chrome Silver. Only the expose areas of the inner frame (elbow and knee joint) are painted with gunmetal. All painted parts are clear coated. Water transfer decals are applied for the finishing touches.
Masking is almost not required for painting except on the cockpit of the Core Lander. No panel lining is done on this model.
