So this my entry into the Sci Fi category. Bought this in Tokyo earlier this year, saw it in a hobby shop and just had to have it. All I know is it is from a Japanese Anime series, but it looked so darn cool I couldn't pass it up. I've been itching to start it ever since.
Here's some shots of the sprues
Comes with a another little craft called the Vespa, not sure if ill make this yet, very small but quite nicely detailed.
The instructions are very nicely done with full colour paint diagrams
Also comes with a nice booklet, with some cool diagrams. I'm sure there's some really interesting stuff written here but my Japanese isn't so hot.
And of course the obligatory sexily clad anime babe.... I'm assuming one of these gals is Tatiana
Can't wait to get started, should be a fairly quick build, not too many parts.
The dilemma I have is should I make clean and shiny like the box art or dirty and weathered??? I'm thinking a pale blue colour chipped and rusted with primer showing through the top coat. Maybe the front nose panel left in just the primer colour..... What do you guys think? Would really appreciate some advice and comments.
Sorry for the epic post, as always thanks for looking and good luck to y'all in the BSC.
Ps I won't be including the figures, they are lacking in detail and of course it would then have to go into the all open category
