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

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

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 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?

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

nah. I'm gonna be alright with my method. just wait n see whether it'll work for the RG decals

hahaha. that one for sure lor. "accidental" battle damage

so gunpla modelling is manlier than shooting each other with BB bullets & band-jamming?

but that's in Japan.. not here.. when ppl here see grown-ups/kidults "playing" with gunplas, they will either laugh or perli you

hahaha.. nice one

but for them, figures from comics/animated series + plastic = toys for kids

usually kits like this will include LEDs, only missing are the batteries like the one for MG Exia Ignition Mode

but imo even if there are no LEDs at all, it's not gonna be a big prob as long as they include all the custom parts to fit in the LEDs.. LEDs are very cheap.. while cheap button cells can be found in shops like Daiso

to me it looks more like "missing parts" rather than "variation", particularly the blue parts on the "ear" pieces

other than that it looks almost the same..

perhaps sinanju = too flashy?

<--- not a big fan of mono eye

huh. still a long way to go~



just noticed that the MG Strike is the same height as the NG Astray Green Frame, but a little shorter than the MG Exia

you can ask Agito666's opinion on that

yup. I'm thinking the same thing as well

but quite puzzled with the number 2 there.. how I wish I can read Japanese

maybe?

I don't have anything to share coz I haven't got any RG kits.. the RG Aile Strike would probably be my first

dem that looks very complicated to assemble

I wonder how would that be for the RG Aile Strike

+999

It's something different compared to your average MGs & NGs

waiting for that one as well

would like to have that one also someday.. need to wait until can find really cheap one lor.. imitations not welcomed
