just thought i'd start a thread on these injection kits. guys, feel free to add comments, reviews, questions, and hopefully replies to those questions)
the series currently has 4 models released with lots of option packs (hands, heads, weapons) that can be purchased INDIVIDUALLY (well sort of... but more on this later)
i was browsing hlj for other cool-looking mecha injection kits since some people who look at my gundams find them all similar looking... even after purchasing only non-traditional-colored gundams lately (orange, pink, gray, etc). three series caught my attention namely SOC (which have a thread already), five star stories (well, just the LED mirage), and the Armored Code VI.
i asked mr. malvs to order me a 1/144 led mirage v3. but while waiting for it, i've decided to purchase GT GH's AC Mirage C01-GAEA www.hlj.com/product/KBYVI-01... and i must admit- i'm so impressed with the kit, that i'd probably get a CREST model in two weeks time and assemble that first (i'd go for it sooner but i had to take care of oil change and various car maintenance).
anyway here's the thing ... most parts are of metallic color already. and though i haven't checked yet if there are internal frames, there are a lot of parts in it. parts from different models are interchangeable as well. it should stand 16.5cm (claimed by the reviews) and it only costs P1900
as mentioned above, option parts are available. new heads, arms, and weapons can be purchased. GT GH currently only have weapon sets 1,2, and 3. but is sold as a set now, i particularly like weapon # 3 but paying P1k for the whole set is a bit steep... i'd rather shell out additional 900 and just buy another kit
i'll try to post some pics in my attempt to assemble the crest in two weeks time.
