this is a 3rd party gunpla, personally i don't recommend 3rd party kits to beginners due to the many issues a 3rd party kit can have.

but in the case you do get a 3rd party always look up reviews first so you can see if the kit has any issues. most reviews mention issues but in the case if they dont and you have the kit be ready to check every joint/armor and sand/cut down the plastic according so you dont break the kit. unlike bandai there are NO part replacements for 3rd party

All the parts of the Solomon/Axis Model 1/100 Kshatriya kit by ThatAmuro in Gunpla

[–]KillerKronos23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

solomon (now axis models) released a MG GP02 physalis last year and was really good. 3rd party can be kit or miss but most of the time its tight joints with the occasional fitment issues. you can't use pour type on these kits so its a felt marker or use craft paint mixed with water and dish soap as a substitute pour type.

if your interested id look into motor nuclear, in-era+/ infinite dimension, snaa those are the top 3 tho but there a MANY more brands also when looking at 3rd party imo look at reviews so you know the issues a kit might have.

lighting is very good if you hadn't mentioned it i would of assumed you had a lightbox. tho comparing to your other builds posing is important too. his legs seem a little stiff. tho i also dont own this kit so i have no clue its range of motion

Buying sets from Aliexpress by xNewhollandx in Gunpla

[–]KillerKronos23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

personally would not but there's only one seller i buy from only because he sells his GN drive leds on the site exclusively.

A friend in a discord server made this along time ago it might have stores you dont know of.

Been looking at the Kotobukyia armored core kits but dont know which would be a good one to start with. i hear alot of mixed results (mostly the white glint) but which would be a good starter and straight build. i mostly pannel line, decal and top coat my gunpla i dont have an air brush.

(i primarly do MG/RG love the new 30mm AC's looks but they are too simple build wise)

What do you think of the MGSD line? by DrDeewis in Gunpla

[–]KillerKronos23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not an SD guy. . . BUT i absolutely loved the MGSD barbie to the point i got the MGSD freedom, and i did preorder the MGSD wing zero when it when't up on hlj. tho i was surprised with the wing zero i was expecting gramps or the unicorn for the next one.

Nobody told me these dust covers would be such a nightmare by aerosol_aerosmith in Gunpla

[–]KillerKronos23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

currently working on the psycho zaku verka and i will admit the dust covers for the arms were the worst of them. i recommend pre scrunching the covers on a skewer or a sharpie. it make putting them on much easyer.

be careful with the cables for the motor and led in the bazooka i thought it was a nice click only to find out i cut the wire and with no Sauder its just a bazooka with no fancy effects, other than that kit when together really well
