I finished this kit a while ago but forgot to take shots. This is Hayate’s custom on the final sortie, which has a number of customizations on it, including the flying knight insigna, and reaction bombs. The build is very much like the rest of the Bandai VF-31s. The reaction bombs are from Macross Frontier…
It’s the year of the Panther, so this is my second after the Meng’s Panther A. I have built a few Shermans from Tamiya but I think this is the first time I build their German armor. After the Meng experience I can safely say that the Tamiya was really easier, with no loss in…
Third of the destroids… I suppose the Destroid Spartan doesn’t share enough of the lower torso with the others so Wave isn’t going to open a new mold for it, alas. Nevertheless of the destroids I like the Tomahawk the most. I suppose it serves as the artillery so it has both a couple of…
I write this more for my own benefits since I often don’t remember 🙂 Continental Model & Toys (Yau Ma Tei): An incredible place for armor modelers, it has kits piled up in walls that you can’t get through 🙂 This established shop (and its online presence Sincere Hobby) has amongst my visits the best…
I started this kit way before the Panther A. Tamiya kits are famous for their engineering and the Elefant is not an exception. As a tank destroyer I like the heavy-look of the design and the lack of a turrent seem to simplify construction which I thought could be a good beginner armor kit to…
The slightly awkward AA gun mecha Destroid Defender! Just like the Missle Phanlax, the Defender is in Wave’s overpriced line up of Destroids. Being the first of the batch however, the price wasn’t too bad, but had more seamlines in the AA guns. The kit provides two type of ammo catridges on the shoulders. I’m…
Who doesn’t love the Destroids. One of the standout “grunts” of Macross, I find the destroids a very practical design for a scifi show and the concept is still applicable today. This Wave’s 1/72 rendition is a huge upgrade from the ancient Arii kits, with better proportion, details and articulation. The only downside is the…
I kept thinking I had this kit taken care of but didn’t. Anyway this is the prior version of the “Egg Girls Summer Paint 2017″. Oh boy, what’d happen if they make a 2019 version? Nothing interesting to say about the building process as this is the identical kit as the 2017 version. Only decals are…
It seems in the armor modeling world people uses white background for photos. So I re-shot the Panther A’s with white and see if it looks more like something that is more commonly accepted 🙂 I guess one issue is the tanks are often dark colored, so it’s a little hard to make it pop.
Finally, a Yukishiro kit that I actually own 🙂 This is probably one of the last of his awesome works before he became a PVC producer. I have had this kit for a long time but didn’t know what to do with it since it’s so awesome, but with time grew more knowledge and I…
