Bad kit can become good after you put effort on it, modify,repair it or even repaint it! Just build the kit you love and conquer it!

I m looking for rg zeta 3, dose anyone know where can I get it?

damn, Crossbone X2 for RM230
anyway,RM120 for Launcher/Sword Strike pack dont seem a bad price

robotmaster/timemachine may have it already...

just finish this deepstriker SD kit after so long..
spoiler'd as non-bandai

this mcmodel original kit you really need an airbrush to make it look good as a few big parts not molded in correct colors.. & dry transfer decal quality also not so good, although it comes with a small waterslide sheet..
but on the plus side, there're tons of extra parts which are good for customizing & it's the only SD deepstriker kit out there.. so, yeah..

i'm sticking to bandai kits from now on..

not telling off you or what, but just curious, why didn't you just post this in the other gunpla thread instead

HG Bluframe cover looks awesom!

is RG destiny here in our shore already?

1st time transforming it... huhuhu
not that hard though... hehehe

Quick review of the HGUC Qubeley.

Pros
1. Massive wingspan makes this kit look menacing when posed beside typical sized HGUC MSes.

2. Nice details on the interior surface of the shoulder armours - can't compare to the MG version but with some paint for the cables and thrusters it should look pretty sweet.

3. The funnels attach very securely to the backpack despite being plastic-on-plastic. Beware of the funnels as they are very tiny and could easily be lost.

4. Nice to have a mobile chest piece to reveal the cockpit, even thought it's a pretty useless gimmick.

5. Huge feet means this kit will not topple easily. Despite having huge feet and bulky leg armours, the range of movement of the ankles is surprisingly pretty decent. This means you could spread the legs apart for the more dynamic pose, unlike the Doms/Rick Doms variants which can only stand straight like a plastic brick.

6. The neck is able to extend a long way backwards for the flying pose, hence the head looks forward rather than downwards. Maybe HGUC kits from this era have fixed neck joints.

7. Very, very evil look. Love it. Says more about its design than the engineering of the kit, but it is what it is.

Cons
1. Very limited movements of the elbow joints due to the bulky armour. The arm rotates at the elbows instead of the upper arms like other HGUCs, which makes

2. There should be 4 blue circles at the lateral surface of the thighs, but Bandai decided to skimp on these. There is a blue plate for the big blue parts on the shoulder armour, so why not give another 4 small pieces for the thigh armour? Bandai could have at least thrown in some blue stickers.

3. The beam sabres are attached to the forearms via friction and could easily detach and go missing.

4. Being an old HGUC kit, most of the armour pieces are assembled by clipping two big pieces together, which in turn means very obvious seam lines. E.g. forearms, thigh armour, the rear end of the pink feet.

5. The head has a very limited range of rotation which means the Qubeley can't look sideways. Fail.

6. Bandai gives you two types of eye stickers. The one which can be peeled off doesn't cover the entire eye piece (you need to paint the lower part of the eyes) whereas the one with the correct shape needs to be precisely cut off from the sticker sheet as it is not pre-cut.

7. The pink stickers are not exactly the correct shape for many of the areas where you need to apply them. The ones on the backpack are perfectly done, but everywhere else is flawed. If you're not careful you might damage or crumple the edges of the pink stripes. Bandai has improved so much over the years in terms of stickers - just see how accurate the gold emblems for the HGUC Sinanju are.

Overall, it is a fairly decent kit which looks amazing when displayed with its shoulder armour opened like a blooming flower. Reasonably cheap for its size too. I was expecting a quick build given the few amount of parts but in the end I still spent longer than expected to complete it.

^ no such fail will change my mind i still think it's fantastic.. just that.. bandai should fire the person who assembled that

it is fantastic.. heheeh
from the picture it do have the RG feels on the details...
btw, is it standing with the aile striker without any support???
if that true, that's just WOW!!!

let's not jump to conclusions bandai is infamous for gluing the feet to the ground

bros, wanna ask, is the RG zeta comes with the BIG laser cannon like the MG?

no.. it does NOT come with the large blue rifle.. only the HGUC version has it

not a new thing
last time got wrong assembly for GN Sword III attachment HG 00 Raiser Condenser
and the picture somewhat an official promo picture lolol

edited: not HG but RD but still lol

yeap, i think bandai has screwed up display units quite a lot already.. but this one really takes the cake

for those who haven't figured it out

no.. I mean like a manufacturing/design flaw or something like that

thankfully it's just a assembling error. the one who put it up might be in a hurry or something

remember that swiveling-thingy on its beam rifle from the official promo picture?
