hw come u lose it?
when u opened the box is it inside?
or u 4get where u put it ?

I recall putting it in one geh, I made sure nothing left in the pastic bags when I throw them and everything is back to the box. strange enough, maybe I left it out the table and it was cleaned away sweat.gif

anyway anywhere that can order spare parts?Hopefully wont cost me half the kit's price, otherwise I might just leave it to be imperfect cry.gif

You have at least 2 solutions i can think of... 1, buy repair parts and make him repair 1, because as i remember, R1 doesnt have any gn cables
2. Buy some tranparent film at the stationary shop and cut out the parts yourself.. the film should cost u less than Rm1 for an A4 sheet

I'll try find around see if I can get the film spare part a not, if not I think I'll try use the projector film and somehow print on them to see

u should be able to get the same light purple color.. most of the reflectivity comes from the silver sticker below it, so the projector film should work just fine

just thinking.. is it possible to email bandai saying my part is missing and request a replacement? sweat.gif

nope, not possible
for Japanese yes, got small form on paper to get replacement part

do you check it on spot after buy? if got missing part can ask shop replace it
what metal part? thruster or metal tube? you can put it after finish everything else

apparently according to some gunpla forums(USA, Europe, Hong Kong), you can get replacement part for free, but only once in your lifetime(means your name and address they will record down)
*
some youtube video show some guy from Philippine able to request that. I'll just try my luck, if cant, I'll resort to 3rd party or DIY methods.

thinking what to buy next after RG exia, or just finish up decal and panel lining for my MG Astray Red Frame + this RG Exia first, lol.

I tried and the result doesn't really help, why else would I ask a question like this? I know i'm the one asking question and i shouldn't be rude, but sorry to say, but a reply like this is rather disappointing

Yeah could have Google the image but didn't thought of that, just felt a little uncalled for when u use lmgtfy. I apologize for my rudeness, it's been a very long day for me, I was merely expecting a brief reply on what's that

curious on one thing. I've seen quite a lot of P-Bandai kits, are those exclusive japan only kits, or eventually seller does carry those kits but with rather limited number? I read from GundamGuy that they released a series of Seed deactivated gundams.

this one Times Square GA got accept PO. RM145 for PO, which is still acceptable IMO.

I have a question, since the Strike Ver RM. Launcher and Sword pack is P-Bandai Limited and price is sky high now, thinking to get the old Launcher/Sword strike with the new Ver. RM decals, since both of them uses the same mould. Did Bandai sell just the weapon for MG 1/100 previously, or it's actually in the MG 1/100 Launcher/Sword Strike Gundam box?

just get the MG Launcher/Sword Strike, then buy 3rd party water decals

I PO-ed the HWS parts, not Hi-Nu though, buy later
just the HWS parts made me go broke  sad.gif

yeah that's what I plan to do, since only difference is the water slide decals

HWS had to order first, otherwise price double later lol sweat.gif I PO ver.ka also because the price is cheaper

to me, both the Hi-Nu design has it's pros, the older one looks sleeker and looks cool, while this one just looks much more badass due to the bulkier design

Hey guys a few weeks ago i came here asking for help placing a dark matter booster on the back of a RG Exia.

Turns out the back isnt compatible but you can do something about it.

http://areefhassan.tumblr.com/post/93398000380

Heres a link of some pics of you guys want to see what i did and it could provide some clues on the matter.

So hard la painted build. paint keeps peeling and i always double coat making it hard to assemble. susah sad.gif

did you wash your kit before painting? and also priming them will help with the situation as well, but dont apply paints too thick otherwise affects articulations as well

remember to wash using dish washer, for more information, google around on what is safe and what would destroy your kit for washing.
