that's why lah. even the cockpit shield is just a clear part. reminds of Macross though

not sure if I've seen wrong, but seems like they did some updates on the Aile Striker pack, too

me likey

that guy from Penang lah. try google Julius Lim. that was his entry for GBWC last year

...and those racks are just for your backlogs.................

looking good so far. can't wait for the final product

it's getting better and better! although I wouldn't give a damn about the Perfect Strike. not too fond of how crowded it is

same goes here. the MG Nu Ver. Ka is my most expensive kit ever, previously it's the MG 00 Raiser...



...that is, if I put my PG Strike aside

you guessed right. details here

oh, you don't say

most of the time, yes

same goes here! I really love the updated looks for the Aile Striker pack, and the Strike itself really is on par with its recently released GAT-series MG siblings

if you're a Strike fan and built the old MG Strike before, surely you will notice and appreciate the improvements made on this oncoming remastered release

and yeah, the Aile Striker does stand out pretty well. I'm pretty sure this is gonna be in my must-buy list

the total price of the RG Aile Strike + RG Skygrasper is 2-3 times the price of HG Perfect Strike

agreed.

the RG has far better proportions colour separarations, articulations and details compared to the HG counterpart.

but this one you really get what you pay for

seems like Bandai has integrated more and more LED gimmicks to their new kits

btw nice touch though

thinking the same thing here

this hobby is not that cheap to begin with

as far as I know, primer are meant for parts that you sanded (like eliminating seam lines) to smooth out the surface or when you're spraying with different colour other than it's original, as an example blue parts painted with red.

if the colour is the same/similiar then I guess you can skip the primer

in some cases, yes.

it can be said like this;
> first, the kits from a certain series are released in HG
> of all those HGs, the most popular (which most of the time, the main character MS) will get MG treatment
> later some of those very lucky MGs will get PG treatment. that is, if Bandai think it is suitable to do so.
> and latest trend is, later it will be released in RG

that's generally how it goes, although it might go the other way around, as an example the 00 Raiser gets the PG treatment right after HG and NG, and MG only comes quite a while later

this is quite an old story.

Bandai already have the MG Kshatriya prototype back at their place, but as far as the development goes, it has some structural and stability issues, maybe due to its large binders (the HG counterpart is already huge in size) and more parts & gimmicks compared to its HG, making them a lot heavier. as far as I remembered from what I've read, the prototype needs to be held by metal supporters in order to stand on its own feet...

yeah. dock-able core fighter gimmick for the RG GP01 is most welcome

you can check Dalong.net for that
