Hmm actually during my Japan trip, I stopped by Asobit City shop in Akiba. I saw they provide service to metallic-coat your model kit (though I'm not sure they coat by runner or by part or both). Is there any similar service in Malaysia?

^ haha I believe you should separate the design and anime standpoint. Not like whatever pilot who pilot whatever unit will appear in the model kit you built, not to mention many ppl will not even paint the figure if it is included, much less people display the kit with the cockpit open. Yes many UC fans now is adult with $$$, but they are getting older, and new generations nowadays mainly know UC series from Gundam Unicorn only, and might not be interested in older models if they are the kind of fan who only buy model kits of the mecha they like in the anime

I would say actually the reason why there's sudden rise of Wing MGs recently was due to the ongoing Gundam Wing Glory of The Loser manga (they use Katoki's design for this manga instead of Okawara's; thus why the recent Wing MGs are all based on Katoki's rendition of the gundams)

U sure? Coz they usually put them together with trading figures on the rack just opposite their cashier counter.

Btw those are actually building models for train model.

agree lol
masking nightmare if you want to paint it

the LED Mirage is more nightmare lol. Especially if you accidentally tore the decals (the red parts on the model kit are suppose to be decals, but it have been 7++yrs when I handed the kit for commission, the decals all KO dy; the person I commissioned the kit have to mask and paint it instead).

This kit also not fully snap kit.. I think around 30-40% need to be glued, and this one really require full painting, since even the base plastic color is wrong out of the box

Anyway, nice work with the Rex. Can give a short comment about the kit?

It's not a model kit though. Detail-wise it's great. Never fully tested the articulation though.
