i broke 1 of the joint (Gold part) in the wings for my strike freedom, but i just put them together (without glue) and just cover it with the outer cover (dark blue part). It still work like a charm when i play open and close the wings.
Not sure why you guys hate it. But I think it is good. At least i feel it is the best for now among the 4 MG unit (strike freedom, destiny "extreme blast mode", hyper mode G gundam, Zeta V2) I have.

when u get more into MGs.. as in get more units, you'll understand why Strike Freedom falls short tongue.gif he lacks much playability and he really isn't much to look at
the wing gimmick is pretty much all he has, and the MS itself is not that nice either, at least, in my opinion.. if among those, i'd put Zeta 2.0 first laugh.gif followed closely by destiny!

I like 00 MG kit since they have LED unit for GN Drive and good articulation, and some old MG with heavy armament or UC series. Strike Freedom dragoon system not fun to play with and eat up a lot of space if put it in FBM, but SF is good for custom paint and look nice though. Btw SF is one of my favorite. tongue.gif

Weekend well spent to complete a kit that i have been delaying and slowing down for months...The good old RG RX-78-2

Somehow, it feels more solid after putting the core fighter inside instead of the core block, but waist articulation is sacrificed

A hell lot of panel lining to do. BTW, all those different sprue connection to reduce the nub mark as mentioned by Bandai is just a marketing gimmick, the nub marks on this kit are on pretty anoyying and noticeable locations

Nevertheless, I have to say the end result is very satisfying nod.gif

for Nu & Hi-Nu it's just the funnels, but Strike Freedom on the other hand, the wing binders also quite repetitive sweat.gif

any of you guys compare the price in Singapore and Malaysia before?
I know gundam Kits are more expensive in SG, i bought my Extreme BLast mode Destiny for $149 - 20% = RM298.
on the other hand, paints and top coat are selling cheaper.
top coat in Msia = RM40 per can (LYN Price) while in SG they only sell $12 (RM30) per can.
Anyone compared the price for Airbrush before? I plan to get an air brush soon.

in my opinion, the price difference is very small compared to the cost for you traveling back and forth just to get something that's merely a few bucks cheaper, that is unless you're talking about bulk purchases

I see. what a lucky coincidence I'd say laugh.gif

kit-wise, yeah. I notice in Malaysia especially in KL is cheaper. not sure about tools though. I myself only use basic tools, never ventured into air-brushing yet sweat.gif
