hohoho.. i think been very long since i do a first review for any kit (most of other time is slowpoke one )

anyway



quite large image ahead. rehosting at imgur didn't help to resize accordingly


sorry for hurting your tengkuk. i rotate in laptop but when rehost, it reverts to original orientation as taken with ipon .-.

overall initial-assembly comment:
1. Mold quality is rather bad, but not terrible. Sanding and trimming so far seems ok
2. Snapping-fit may need some gluing on some parts.

so far, seems ok, would just require some slight modelling skill. i decide to assemble with head first, becos it's smallest part to assemble, and would able to tell quality the fastest

brief look at the runners, sad to say it's almost true. Mold quality is rather bad. But sanding/trimming may seem to overcome them.

done snapping half the body. QC-wise, yeap it's bad.

i had to perform plastic-editing on few of the parts; cutting/trimming/measuring the parts till it fits. i'll post pics/review 2moro.

so far, i'm still ok with the kit. Some of uols might say quality is same or worse than GHD. for me, i think it's ok becos Bandai do not have this kit, whereas PG Strike mold is already available.
So with that, i still have some tolerance level for this Nighty

colour-wise, quite similar to Char's Zaku ver 2.0. depending on my mood, i might go for AB on this kit (my AB skills need deep underground resurrection....)

it's definitely not a kit for newbies.

aiya... kenot connect to dropbox.
later i transfer pic from my pon la

yeah, i'll create another album for it.
now bust with work. later la

1/100 Nightingale review Pt III



summary:
1. plastic quality is really bad. molding inconsistency is very consistent
2. require a lot of cutting,trimming.
3. Many parts doesn't snap-fit readily, need engineering rework (fuh seh giler poyo ayat...)
4. despite all the shitty quality and rework to be done, surprisingly i'm not pissed at all. i get this weird nice feeling that when i snapped it at the end, it look quite good, just need more finishing touches.

once again, this is not a kit for newbie. for others with some basic skills, this is one kit tht'll be good to hone your skills.

Next:
Arm and Wing

hehehe thanks guys. it's very challenging, but i feel fun cos i get to cut plastics

hehehe probably true too

hahaha. really it's quite bad...

but hehe quite fulfilling la once u snap fitted it.

EXACTRYYYYYYYYYY

oh hehe, honest opinion, rm290 is not worth

but hohoho... price is all about supply and demand.

and there is no supply from bandai

haha if price does go down, i can only console myself with the metal thrusters, and fastpoke in assemblying
