You might want to scrape it a little bit.Īre there any problems if the lumps DON’T align with the notches? Yes, there is. And even if the male pegs don’t have the notch, I recommend leaving the lumps as it is, unless it’s really hard to fit the male peg in. Be sure to check the male pegs first if they have this notch. This peg design allows you to swivel or rotate the part without the worry that it will slide out after some time.ĭo not scrape these bulges or lumps inside the female pegs. It is still removable but it’s quite hard. You will hear a faint snapping sound making them locked into place, thus the “snap lock” term. This bulge or hump must align with the notch of the male peg once attached together. Even Bandai model kits have a few of them. Many will probably think this is a common issue among bootleg kits that needs scraping, but you’re wrong. If you look closely inside, there is a hump-like excess in the middle. This image shows the part where the male peg should go into. I will feature the full Inner Frame section after all the body units. Can’t remember anymore but please do tell if there are things I might have missed. The only shiny gold parts that we will have here are the v-fin, the ones for the shoulders, and the fins for the shield. As far as we know when they released the Strike Freedom ver MB, it was very easy for them to make the gold-plated runners but for an increase in the total price. I just hoped they could have made it glossy like the red and blue.Īnother thing to point out is the price that probably affected the reason why some of the inner frame parts are brown instead of gold. But the whiteness of Daban’s runner is really good. I kept the SN WZC in my box so discoloration from sunlight should be very minimal to none. But apparently, it looks whiter to Supernova’s first Wing Zero. Even though these are just minor detailing, I’m sure a lot of consumers and other builders would want more.ĭaban’s white runners seem cheap because it’s not as glossy as the other runners (blue and red). For example would be the panel line on the shoulder armors’ round blue parts or the small notches on the machine cannon covers. I looked at a few reviews for the MJH and I noticed that not all parts have the same detailing like Daban. Of course, there are no gold parts and Bandai has that kind of feature. Both MJH and Daban Model feature the white, brown and dark gray for the Inner Frame. Maybe you can improvise on this part.īefore I move on to the Head Unit, I want to mention the coloring. Sad to say however, both MJH and Daban seemed to forget adding the wires that can be connected to the backpack and onto the buster rifle. And this is great because the MJH brand didn’t bother giving away any decals for their consumers. And just completely ignore the typos.Īnd let’s not forget the usual foil sticker and a small sheet of waterslide decals. Please correct me if there are bad terminologies used in the review. I would like to mention that I also forgot taking pictures of several pointers (I got rusty). I might change my usual style just for this review because of the Inner Frame’s peg design, which I will discuss later probably in the Arm Unit section (because that’s the only part I managed to take a picture of what I was talking about). Yes, Daban continues to release models but not as fast as before. And what a perfect time to do that during the freshly released High Resolution Model Wing Zero Custom of Daban Model. I guess this is finally the time to return. A lot of my colleagues have been asking when I will go back on posting reviews. I did get the job but it is taking now a lot of my time, so the blog went from hibernation to half-dead.Įnough of this drama, and I will try to revive my second hobby writing reviews on the Gunpla kits I have built. And I had to stop for a while because of the pandemic and I badly needed a job. But even with that problematic incident, I tried doing my routine when building a kit exploded views, taking notes, etc. I was in dismay that I can’t retrieve any of them back and I don’t have the backup for all the images. I somehow contracted a ransomware virus and locked all my files including the raw images of the 2 kits I haven’t reviewed. To be honest, that idea came to my mind when I was going to prepare the review for my 2 Bandai kits. Update : Will re-edit due to small size and unarranged imagesĪnd many already thought that I was dead or have already quit making reviews.
