SD Sangokuden Cao Pi Gundam snapfit

Hello guys, I snapfitted my first Sangokuden kit last night after dinner...and I was kinda surprise with the quality of the kit. First, I accidentally removed a part, oof it's tree and it did not damage the plastic, I mean you could remove it carefully with your own hands ( without cutters ) without worrying of putty work later. Second, I was surprised with the amount of clear parts included with the kit. Anyways here are the box art and some pics...

The manual has a 4 page comics at the back...very nice...

here is the sticker that came with the kit...more stickers = more masking...

Here is the pics of the snapfitted kit...

It is a very nice SD, being my first Sangokuden I was kinda surprised with the quality...articulation is good, nice clear parts and very nice details...BUT, and this is a major but, I don't see myself working with this kit soon. I mean, I hate masking! I love SDs and I hate masking...not a very good combination. Anyways, I would highly recommend the kit to kids and to serious modelers who are up for the masking job. Thanks for viewing. :)

Anonymous said...: The ease of removing the parts from the runners caught me by surprise too initial after not buying a SD kit for some long. They have definitely made it easier for begineers such as, kids who short of the basic neccessary tools.

Similarly for me, masking job is a handful for me. Spills and smudges are always inevitable :s; January 18, 2010 at 6:33 PM
