NICE! I just started on my virtual on kits addiction as well altho its the Hasegawa kit just finished my Blue Heart Fei Yen rn moving onto Shadow Temjin
I find myself hating ABS plastic more than loving it. It’s not accepting of paint or topcoat, prone to breaking, and makes peg or ball joints feel tight or overly slippery, and there’s no in between. This is a cool model though, I hope the VOLKS kit is better. And as for avoiding superglue for clear parts, Evergreen brand Canopy Glue works great for clear parts that must be glued and also for car and plane model windows/canopies, which are usually glued in. Canopy Glue is more non-permanent for polystyrene, it’s more akin to Elmer’s white or clear glue, which is a alternative that most people use (but Elmer’s is VERY prone to getting stuck and hardening inside its bottle, so I much prefer Canopy Glue). Also, I highly recommend investing in a pin vise and drill bit set so pinning joints is much easier! Great video, hoping to see more kit videos.
I have been waiting for someone to do a review of this kit for ages. Nice to see it get some love, but the degradation of the water slides is a bummer. This makes me super nervous at the prospect for adding lighting when this kit comes up in my rotation.
Sadly a Kotobukiya kit. FORTUNATELY if you are experienced on the Kotobukiya Syndrome its not that bad to work with. AWESOMELY ITS STILL A VIRTUAL-ON KIT!!!
I used to play the FIRE out of this game at Pizza Inn back in the day. I mean spending a smooth $5 on the cabinet version per session lol

It's so satisfying to snip and cut, though.
The Kotobukiya build horror stories continue. You did a lot of work just to fix the shoulders.
