rclxub.gif that's a conversion kit right? >< Anyway, I found this on HobbySearch, RX-78 GP01. Is it RX-78-1 ? laugh.gif
And regarding the RX-78-2, RX-78-3 is exactly the same model as RX-78-2, only difference is the color - at least this is what HLJ states here,RX-78-2 - read the last paragraph of its description ^^ "The RX-78-3 kit is identical to the RX-78-2 except that it is molded in blue and gray plastic, rather than the more "festive" colors of the original."

And .. what is the difference or what does version Ka. offer? RX-78-2 Ver.Ka
*
lets see.. no, GP01 is not rx 78-1. you really can't believe what hobby sites have to say mate, gotta do some real research.

the gundam in the pic is not a conversion kit, its a normal injection kit called the Full Armor Gundam. available at all decent hobby stores and also at your nearest Jusco/Parkson.

as for Ver. Ka, its just Katoki Hajime's take on the RX 78. fyi, Katoki is a designer.

well, they have the wing series and unicorn series to milk atm.. 00 fever has died down a little, albeit the movie (which was meh)

strike while the iron is hot for unicorn kits, and when that has died down, revive 00 like how wing is being revived. either way, people sure buy wan... whistling.gif

nope, i don't think blast impulse will be coming out.. was just too unpopular.. didn't even get much screentime in the anime.. took bandai a year to go from force impulse to sword impulse and they had to only mkae minor changes.

don't even get me started on begining. mad.gif

isn't there any water slide decals for ReZEL? or is it still considered "new" so no water slides released yet? rolleyes.gif

i dont think there are any mg-s with waterslide as of yet.they are normally dry transfer, sheet of warning stickers and foil stickers. waterslide has been a aftermarket thing.

if you are patient, just wait for the water decal.

now I have RG RX78's water decal and kinda confused with whether to paste this or not  hmm.gif
... because the model is already topcoated
*
your top coat is flat or gloss? if its gloss, just proceed with decaling then top coat again once done..

if its flat, gloss coat then decal. top coat again afterwards.

ehh? what you mean by paint no dry properly?

and the grey parts have cast iron effect mah. the weathering for this kit was mainly achieved by shading and filters. doesn't really have any physical damage to it.. was kinda rushing to complete it.. tongue.gif

problem is shauno, you and I are painters. We paint, pose, tangkap gambar and masuk detolf, hence the joints don't experience much wear and tear, no?

after much deliberation, I've decided to not build the pink strike (bosan with the 1001 RG images d sad.gif) but will work on the Gogg i bought from henry instead!!!
