looks like Aile Strike is indeed the more popular gundam after RX-78-2.. rclxms.gif but the price shd be almost that of its MG or is it? tongue.gif

is this a good kit? i want it coz i'm big fan of Amuro the pilot & this is is his only MS which i don't have.. tongue.gif
plus the only format this mobile suit has is this MG (save for the crappy SD version = =wink.gif..
anyone has built this kit, mind to share what u think of this kit? (i only do snapfit & marker.. pretty much what ngeekhiong did to his kits, if that'll help blush.gif )

hmm.. i do have C1. and the picture, i think, it is zeta plus A1 hmm.gif on dalong, http://www.dalong.net/review/mg/m43/mg43_p.htm  i think the different beside their colours is the C1 come with long bazooka (lol, i like looong rifle/bazooka laugh.gif )
I'm a snapfitted+marker (little only)+lining also. because it is quite old model, the frame is not like the newer one. the attachment is different a bit. when u remove it from the frame, there a likely chances that it may leave big 'scar' to your frame. mostly are not really noticed. so, the sanding part will be very hard for this model. the joint are hard as they are transformed units. not really hard to transformed (compared to EX[s] sweat.gif )

yeah.. A1 it is.. the one with "KARABA AIR FORCE" decal on the legs.. blush.gif
hmm, sound like a pretty decent kit.. guess i'll just grab it.. brows.gif laugh.gif

i didn't play much with kits after assembled anyways.. so that wouldn't be a problem.. tongue.gif

The Amuro one is the A1, not the C1.

I don't have the kit but from various reviews it seems that its joints aren't the most steady ones around since it's a pretty old kit and also the transforming mechanism. The A1 is pretty basic with only a shield, sabres, and a standard rifle; the C1 has a more badass smart cannon although it will have weight issues. The dull grey colour is also an acquired taste compared to the tomato-red/white combo of the A1.

Strictly speaking, the A1 isn't exactly an Amuro suit since there's no official in-universe records that Amuro piloted it. But really, who cares.

yeah. the colors are really.. shakehead.gif (tomato-red lol doh.gif )
but bandai are clever enough to produce this kit with the 'A' insignia.. so die-hards like me will have no choice.. tongue.gif

Plagiarism spotted. No wonder MG DSHC's boxart looked familiar.

Now i'm really curious who's the illustrator. It can't be Morishita Naochika, could it? hmm.gif

In case anyone's wondering, that green mecha is Forbidden Gundam from GSD.

*
that's BLASPHEMY!!! Forbidden is from GS not GSD... doh.gif it only made its appearance in the first episode when Shin Asuka is still trying to avoid getting beam-blasted & escape from Onogoro.. biggrin.gif

btw i don't think is Naochika for MG DSHC.. that guy/girl is only doing boxarts for HG kits of Gundam00 & Unicorn for now....
