i say it is 10 times worse! GHD is simply horrible, they have more variety of models, but their molding is crap and is hard to even suggest to be used as spare parts
their polycaps are weak as crap, snap fit joints have terrible molding and require a lot of work etc etc.. but if u REALLLYYY want to challenge your skill as a modeller.. then u can go ahead and give it a try

lol Hxiiik, comparing GHD and Nighty, which one worse?

GHD wins this round
nighty not as much as a nightmare as GHD.. now if GHD came up with a nighty copy, now THAT is the ultimate nightmare

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA wokay

i still has the urge to risk testing out GHD PG Strike

same here it looks simple enough, but better prepare for a lot of rage!
btw where can i find some cheap GHD MGs to try out? i've tried out HG Gaia and it didn't end well i think i want to try out an MG and really spend time on it

haha.... i see. both of your comment lmfao.
ok ok, dare not to try it, i admit i am noob
and i want to know what is weather dont know what thing. like weather painting, what is that ?

this!

oh... i see. haha... ok ok. thanks thanks. will learn it when i have the budget for painting.

painting is quite expensive till now i've only studied all the guides.. haven't practiced at all! haha..

oh.. haha.. agree.
some more need to buy different paint for different colour model. and some of the colour just use once. i not that rich yet. haha.

Nightingale question: how to insert those little metal thrusters? It's different from the bigger ones. Only realized this when I want to put them in this morning.....

the smaller ones? you have to glue the small metal rod (insert the thinner area in through the top, not through the inside of the thruster)
you have to glue it, otherwise it will keep popping out.. then u should have a thruster that looks something like the black ones they provided.. then you insert the red part into the thruster and push the thruster into the slot until it fits.. all of the thrusters for my nighty fit very snugly without any glue

Oh, but I don't feel like gluing to metal thrusters leh
but then, I believe there's no other way is it?
and the tamiya cement doesn't work on metals right?

just apply some glue because the metal rod is loose.. i'm not sure if cement will work since the rods don't really come in contact with the thrusters all that well.. the glue was just to give it a bit bigger surface area so it can fit into the thrusters.. don't worry though, you won't see the glued part

then there's no choice lor if I want to insert those thrusters
thanks for the advise

Looks like Nightingale is alot of work from so many discussions.. XD

But I assume that from the experience of building it, it should be fun too.

yes, it really is quite fun.. just quite a lot of FUUUUU parts u have to be prepared for.. but like some of them here said.. the completion of such a kit is very satisfying

Agree
Not to mention panel lining and AB part, just the snap-fit process already having a lot of bumps along the way.
But after all the hard work, you can sit back, relax and enjoy the sight of this monstrous kit

.... which i have no shelf space for
