WHAT?! they are more expensive than stated?

then what's the real price?
*
yeah,

unicorn is 5,000 yen, which is about 190
Kshatriya is 4500 yen, about 170

IF you follow the yen rates of 0.038. some shops might sell it at .036 or so..

yeah, resin kit looks better, but more exp, more difficult to build, and also needs coloring. i'd stick with injection kit, thanks

we're talking about gundams and mecha here. i think 'is it possible' should have been thrown out of the window a loooooooooong time ago.

sanding also wont help?

if its the extra finish hand, then sanding will make things worse only sweat.gif

i guess what you can do is maybe use a sharp knife to remove the nips? then use silver marker to touch up?

btw, anybody been to BTS lately? looking for a z'gok now.. sweat.gif

but if thinking the logic, Delta Plus is not meant to land side..
and yeah should include the display stand too..  but Bandai already said to cut cost the MG kit.. for future MG with display stand i think is not possible then sad.gif
*
stands don't cost much anyways. only 20 bux mah.. personally, i'd rather bandai produce something very pretty in place of something like standing ability. i can always get a stand if it cannot stand right (mg unicorn), but if the kit's ugly (mg sazabi), i'm not getting it..

of cos, if it looks good, and awesome proportions, then must get lahhh biggrin.gif

sazabi is cos the proportions are out man.. i think nice protagonist suits are like the zaku v2, or sinanju or even the gelgoog.

I think you mean antagonist...lolz...well, Sazabi was designed as a space MS, there's no need for it to be streamlined or beautiful; just effective; though I really like the design, just as much as I like the Kampfer and the Sinanju. Gelgoog and me don't get along well though, probably because of the bare back...and boy do I love me some Zakus.

whoops. never got my antagonist protagonist correct tongue.gif

i don't mean the design of the sazabi is not nice, or streamlined. i love the bulk. its the kit which i'm commenting about. its out of proportion which is my major gripe.

really ah? i thought customs will kacau if the value is more than 500 bux, or if the package is too big? i was adviced by ray to avoid shipments which are too big/expensive..

+1 to the side skirt problem. don't have as much of a problem with the front skirt tho.. maybe cos i've painted it already, so the joint is tighter..

wanna ask, is the enamel thinner similar to what we call in mandarin "火水"?

smell damn nice, feel like my house will catch fire anytime laugh.gif

technically, enamel thinner is called turpentine if i not wrong. but again, industrial strength solvents are not to be used for modelling plastics.

even tamiya enamel thinner will attack plastic and make it brittle, so you think industrial thinner will damage your kits or not? like general nic said, zippo fluid is a very economical way to go. but even then, it is not as good as the modelling enamel thinners. ask in modelling thread on the difference between zippo and enamel thinner and you shall know more. cool2.gif

you spray your kit piece by piece or part by part? if you wanna minimize frosting, best to do it piece by piece..
