didnt know where to post this so dito na lng sa thread na to since model kits ang topic.
do kotobukiya kits need much painting? and how similar are they to bandai kits? is it harder to build or easier? m planning to get kc an armored core kotobukiya kit. thanks for any input and help you can provide.

i love the wildfalken design... these mechs are really huge! stands 17cm when completed and it's only in 1/144 scale... STC has plenty of these...

managed to have an out-of-the-box check of one of the kits - the r-gun variant:
- the kit is like an HGUC/HGGS with a touch of MG detailing.
- some smaller parts are already colored (head sensors, small details) - you can just snap together and viola! (of course, some panel-lining would definitely leave a better impression)
- the hand manipulators for weapons are separate - meaning there's no need to detatch-attatch the hands to handle the different as all you need to do is swap the hands themselves with their respective weapons.
- posability is pretty good for a kotobukiya kit.

these pics are awsome. though from the looks of it the kit will need a lot of painting and detailing to look as great as those pics. |
