So this littel 85mm Mobile Suit Gundam is Char's Zaku II, this kit is a line of sweets and model kits by Bandai and there are quite a few based on the mobile suits from the Gundam series and lots of other Japanese shows. Each box contains an 85 mm kit that works out to be about 1/250 scale and one piece of soda flavored gum ( i haven tested the gun yet). 

 

The kit come partly built but there are a few other parts on small coloured runners just like a proper kit. The body part that was pre built will come apart, very handy if you want to paint it like i will be.

 

The over all detail and fit is very good on the particular kit.

That looks really good. Hard to believe it's so small. 

 

For some reason it reminds me of Noien Bitter's 6S.

Oh nice, great job on that little guy!

Thanks all.

 

 Its all down to the best paint I have ever used, its from a Mr Hobby color modulation set I bought for the Zaku tank, mixed with a few drops a cellulose thinners it spray like a dream and the finish is so flat and smooth even I can get it down nice and its great for the smaller stuff. I never seem to get the same finish with my water based acrylics, all the grays are hand painted and Im very pleased with how those bit turned out. I will probably get around to doing of few pictures later on in the week. Definitely going to get a few more of little kits.

 

Need to get back to the HMC now!

 

 

Cheers Brian
