Brundledonk Posted October 21, 2019 Author Share Posted October 21, 2019 this Gundam is a bit different to the other one I did as it has something called a core fighter which is a kind of jet that can fold up and then stores inside the torso ( I'm assuming this is some kind of escape craft ? ) the added bonus in this kit is that there is 2 of them ( one for the ground unit and one for the space version ) they are very similar and differences will be clear to see further on cockpit and nose sections first and there were some seams on the nose that I wanted to eliminate far too visible even for my low standards Pg Gp01 core fighters work in progress by brundledonk, on Flickr filled, sanded and primed and if only it was as easy to do as it was to type ( took a few rounds of filling and sanding before they disappeared ) Pg Gp01 core fighters work in progress by brundledonk, on Flickr there's a couple of teeny pilots and I did my best to paint them, but I'm no spring chicken and me old mincer's aren't what they used to be and even with the optivsor it was a struggle so they are a bit shonky but once in the driving seat you cant really tell Pg Gp01 core fighters work in progress by brundledonk, on Flickr 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Spadgent Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Just wow! I’m not 100% sure what I’m seeing here but I know I love it. I’ll go back and check it out in full detail later. I am predominantly an aircraft modeller beginning his first Gundam. (Freedom Gundam MG) a gift from a friend. Starting the kit I can see they are a different beast compared to Aeroplanes. I love your look and will be attempting to re create (to a lesser extent) This on my own kit. thanks for sharing. looking forward to more. johnny.
