I've been eyeballing this thing for years and finally decided it was time. Sold a bunch of old anime stuff I wasn't into anymore and got something awesome.

That's dope! Such an incredible design! I have one too, is yours also a model kit? https://imgur.com/a/LrGdJhb

Yours looks different, but the model looks identical. Did you paint this yourself? I like the more raggidy look as that is pretty much how it was in the show as it always gets beat up.

I had to put on a handful of parts, but I wouldn't call what I got a "model kit" as it is 95% preassemble and painted.

Mine is made by Bandai and yes, I did paint it. Out of the box it's very plasticky and "perfect". You're totally right, it should be a bit beat up. I tried my best to do some cartoon style damage.

I looked up the one you have and the features are really cool, hope you're enjoying it!

Gaaaahhhh....so fucking cool! Where did you get it...I'd love to look and then be ultimately too stingy to actually buy one

Woah, thats awesome! Can you easily take it off the stand? Because if so, I would never get any work done - I'd just spend hours flying it above my desk and making spaceship noises :D

[–] Izzy@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Absolutely. Not only does it easily come off the stand, but it has many moving parts such as landing gear with wheels, foldable wings and even a light up engine. I've yet to get the 3 button cell batteries required to power it though.
