rockpopandchips Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 (edited) 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. Box Art Runners and part built body. Built kit. ( apart from power cables on legs) And next to a 1/144 GM for size. "Mine is still way bigger than yours" Thanks to Shane at Japan Cool for sorting me out with this, i didn't know about these kits until i rang him. Kits found her. http://japan-cool.co.uk/epages/950003803.mobile/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/950003803/Categories/Gashapon Edited May 9, 2017 by rockpopandchips 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockpopandchips Posted May 10, 2017 Author Share Posted May 10, 2017 Repainted the Zaku to a better colour to go with the MA im building. And the legs, i think this little kit looks better than a lot of HG 1/144 kits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thud4444 Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 That looks really good. Hard to believe it's so small. For some reason it reminds me of Noien Bitter's 6S. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!
