[FA] 1/100 Kagutsuchi-Kou x2

[Yg Models]

before built FA Kagutsuchi-Otsu Fencer & Sniper, the one carrying heavy sword or sniper.

i already assembled its previous version: Kagutsuchi-Kou twice.

It is a mecha in Frame Arms, a model series designed & published from ground by Koto,

its selling points are

- basic interior structures with 3mm holes all around;

- using those 3mm holes to install armor / weapon;

- official armor sets in different style (i.e. model kits) are designed by Japanese favorite mechanical designers;

- suitable for modeller to D.I.Y. its mecha rather than everyone build a same mecha (e.g. gunpla);

- its spin-off series: Frame Arms Girls even became a trend of model kit, every brand in Japan, Taiwan, China publish similar model kits to earn money now ...

 

it was a period I use tamiya enamel, gaia paints, spray cans to enjoy modeling.

since some of them maybe built 7~8 years before,

i can't remember clearly what colors, technique i applied on them.

so group them together and share with you.

 

i only rescue a few photos from my photobucket,

so don't have 6-view, blow-up, details as per recent builds.

but have Photoshop posters ...

 Nice! My only experience of a kotobukiya model was one a Border Break Zebra unit

 

I found I had to do a lot of masking out because of how they had molded the parts. 

How are the frame arms models to paint?

i haven't build any Border Break before,

but quality of Koto's model kits are average; won't like bandai, some products are nice and cheap, some just so so.

 

since number of parts in FA series not up to bandai's MG level, even its Zoids-MMH level, so still have quite masking need to do if you use airbrush.

for me, i mainly (~95%) use hand painting, so not feel any problem with Koto molding style.

 

if you interested in koto / bandai model kits, this Korean blogs shall be useful 😉:
