The use of screws made me feel that it's closer to PG (premium), hehe.

But even my older Wing ver Ka doesn't have any screw, which felt cheap.

That 2 screws seem to be holding the arms' shoulder swing joints? Hmmm

the screw cannot in properly
i wonder how rihuhs can make it

you need to properly align the screw... if not its hard for it to be fix...

i got friend told me the latest MG deathschthe hell feel like normal 1/100 when finished assembled -.-

if the gunpla is not screwed it feels cheap.

wow....





hahahahha

yup. got two of 'em. one for each shoulder joints..

the MG Zeta Plus on the other hand got four screws, two for each leg.. since the legs for the MG Zeta Plus are double-jointed, need one screw for each leg joint.. so 4 joints = 4 screws.. but no screws for the arm joints

heh? putting in the screws is just a breeze. it is really that simple. can even be done with my eyes closed

but I'm not really sure about others.. some might have a really tight fit, thus making it hard to screw (no puns intended )

maybe some dun have d screw thread, so harder to screw in?

I don't think those parts have any screw thread.. what matters is the fitting of the hole itself

plus, usually plastic parts (regardless of purpose) don't have any screw threads, unless been screwed in the first place

thats d thg, some may thk got screw thread, so they expect to screw in smoothly as if there's screw thread, while there's none
n if u forcefully screw it in d 1st time when not aligned properly, its hard to screw in nicely d even if take out n screw again

this 1+

but i dont have problem screwing on RX78 OYW one

the screw itself adds sturdiness to the joint.. but it might cause the model hard to pose due to tight joints

in some cases, it seems that the screws is not that important, like the ones for MG Strike.. it seems the joint can perform well without the screws.. on contrary, they are somewhat important to the MG Zeta Plus.. if the screws are not fixed, then the joints cannot be held well together

Come to think of it, it's fine for not having screw thread, cause they can't be made during injection. Usually screw thread is post production kinda thing. Imagine so many units of MG Strike to make threads of...

Anyway, some stuff to share for people that are expecting (not babies la...)

holy, so many more chrome foil stickers compare to RX-78-2!
gonna be hard to keep those stickers frm coiling after long term

try to press/rub the foil stickers using a cotton bud after applying it.. I usually do this especially when applying stickers for the eyes

i pressed with fingernails, haha
usually i dun face this problem when applying stickers, n i jz started assembling my RG recently, dunno d foil stickers will coil up or not, jz heard ppl say d foils stickers tend to coil after long

I'm sure anyone who walks into a McD will not be happy when they're served a Whopper instead of a Big Mac.

Threads on plastic is useless anyway. The screw will go through it when force is applied.

I wonder if use hair blower would help or not. Heat it up a little then press it with cotton bud?
Maybe after cooled down, the shape would stay? Haha

Just a guess. I painted my gold anyway, easier.

i don't think the hair blower is hot enough to mend the shape of the sticker..

but if it is too hot, wouldn't that melt the adhesive?

Try and see?

I don't have any hair blower, so cannot try
