Hi all, I'm new to this forum, but not in the Gunpla universe. I would like to share my experience with the RC Nightingale.



As you all know, it's crappy. Some parts can't snap-fit ( too loose ), while some are too tight to snap-fit. Additional tools are needed: glue to make sure they stick together, and the plier to force the parts to snap in.
Initial idea is to paint it, but after completing it, doesn't feel like doing it already.
The holes for the thrusters, most of them are too big for them, while the ones for the 3 fuel tanks are too tight ( still thinking how am I suppose to fit them in ).
Already glued most of the parts, especially the horns on the head, who ever can stick them in without glue, I kowtow low low.... and also the hand holding the gun ( glued the gun to the hand and the hand to the arm ).

Overall, it's a new experience compared to my other gundams, quite satisfying upon completion, not recommended for beginners.

They are supposed to snap-fitted, provided that they are 'fitted'. For example, one of the fuel pods are so loose that I had to glue them to prevent them from falling apart. I believe HxiiiK is assembling one and MyKy44 already completed one. We can have them to comment on this.

I also want to AB it at the first, but then decided to drop it, even though I must agree, repainting it will make it nicer, like what the HK guy did with his, right?
I got fed-up with everything falling here and there everytime I want to move it, or put one part on, or take off another. It is just to loose.....snap-fit term doesn't apply here.....

I think that 'white thing' is glued, right? I did with mine

You saw one of the tools that I posted? Highly recommended for those hard-to-fit-in parts

Haha thanks for the support, but I already start fixing the decals, so basically it's already too late
but I'm planning something else, something that will make it more, more interesting, even better than AB
will post pics upon completion

Haha, of course, but not so soon ya

Maybe it's a little bit exaggerating, not better than AB lah, AB is more on appearance IMO, but i'm not working on that....
let's say, it will be different

Don't dare to reveal yet, later if unsuccessful, lose face, malu

yeah, almost the size of a PG, probably bigger
and you put the Deathscythe between it's legs, that humiliating!!!

Talking about PG poison, this suddenly strikes me: a PG Zeta Gundam, really wanted this, but since original one so expensive, wondering if other company is going to release one?

They're water slide decals

OIC, I always thought that Zetas are popular, not sellable probably because too expensive, then China should copy it and make it sellable
Anyone would like to send them a suggestion

dry transfer decals normally comes with another piece of paper to prevent the decals from 'accidentally' sticking on other surfaces, eg the plastic bag that comes with it.
water slide decals normally comes in blue background paper, correct me if i'm wrong

ya betul

And you can make it hold the gun? I had to remove the gun's fuel pod ( the white thing at the back of the gun ) and then glue them together to make that happen....
Btw, nicely done bro
