Bandai Hobby BAN230363 Char's Counterattack Sazabi RG 1/144 Model Kit, Red

Product Information

Ka’s armor panels many of the lines are actual separations between two separate pieces of armor, which I could line, but could look pretty silly when the armor is vented open for an action pose. After enjoying episode 7 of Last of Us with the wife this evening I sat down to power through the rest of the legs with the goal of at least getting this behemoth standing on its own feet before the end of the weekend. The front and side skirts can also move as a unit, out and away from the center of the body to facilitate a deep kneeling pose. Some of the smaller sunken details showing exhaust ports or implied light lenses are almost impossible to clean up any wash that didn’t stay neatly in the lines leaving a sloppy look to those small areas.

The shield can attach to the back of either forearm, and holds on shockingly well for how heavy it is.The build experience of this kit is pretty streamlined thanks to Bandai's meticulous planning of parts.

I may, or may not have (but definitely did) tear the largest and most prominently displayed decal by being a bit to rough with a Q-tip trying to rub away the water. What we do get is the beam shotgun, two beam sabers, the classic humungus shield, and a beam tomahawk (those last two can be attached to each other). Completely avoidable self-own here, but that’s perhaps to be expected from the man who oriented his entire life around revenge, and then still got distracted dogfighting a teenager for a while. However, I was mindful and very careful to provide support to the body while rotating the particular joint.We’ve talked about Amuro Ray, and we’ve talked about Kamille Bidan, and now we have to talk about the connective tissue that binds them together. Another three hours of decal application and, two more ripped decals, I’ve only managed to apply about 30 or so decals.

Just looking at how parts seamlessly go together, I just couldn’t help but “waste” time in just admiring how cool assembling this kit is for the first time. I had to carve out a bit of plastic before I finally got them through, but you can see in the photos it’s pretty tight and it created some white stress marks, but overall doesn’t seem any worse for wear and and multiple assemblies and disassemblies the shoulder pads are still fixed firm, all good signs for the longevity of this model. Bandai have used the colors and iconography on a variety of real-world swag, from watches and phone charms up to an actual fucking car. But in the case of one of the funnels I ended up with quite a bit more on the top coat than I intended. There is still a lot of opportunity for gorgeous panel lining if I ever sack up and learn to scribe.His job is done: the Zabis are dead, his father Zeon Deikun is avenged, and he can live his best life. Ka, but since I received the metal frame kit I’m just too excited to do another kit before starting this. Color and form of the product may differ from the actual product and what is seen on screen depending on monitor settings.

A few years after Zeta , Char reappears in the aptly and unsubtly titled Char’s Counterattack , operating under his own name again – really it’s just his best-known alias, since his actual name of Casval Deikun isn’t used by anyone except his estranged sister – with an even cooler plan. Later reissues of the Gunpla from September 2018 onwards will feature a blue-colored Bandai Spirits logo. One element of the backpack I really didn't care for were the fuel tanks becausethey have a seam running down the center. Before I started I had a good handle on what was required to successfully install these, however what I didn’t fully understand was how easy it is to tear them. Since it is an RG, it has many movable parts, and it is good that it can reproduce more human-like natural movements.The Hasegawa hologram finish sheet is attached to the forehead sensor, and it is painted in clear green from above.
