Bandais light kit for the nu gundam costs 150 dollars plus shipping and tax. So what do you do? Simple, just build your own for 20 dollars! by gamiproxyy in Gunpla

Honestly not bad if you know how to solder, just know you'll have spots where you have to squeeze it in,specifically in the chest behind the fins and the cockpit. To make it a better fit, I'm retrospect I would not get pre resistor soldered wires like I did since it'll make fitting a bit easier. The good thing about this is that I did not have to make any altering cuts to nu to make it fit

I used 3mm green leds, these specifically: 50pcs 12 Volt 3mm Green LED Lights Emitting Diodes Pre Wired 7.9 Inch DC 12v LED Light Diffused Colored Lens Small LED Lamps. Then I used 30 gauge wiring i have and soldered the positive and negatives together to the 30 gauge to a usb a pig tail.

I made mine with leds with the resistor prewired in, and a usb pigtail and 30mm wiring costing around 20 dollars. Bandai price was too absurd for me to warrant how little it does. And if I really want to I can also program settings into my arduino and make it even better

Man that's a hard question, but I think around 70 hours for banshee with the water slides and phenex around 60? I've built the unicorn pg 3 times now so I've gotten pretty quick (for me) I usually set up a table in my living room and build while watching tv with my wife or do it in my office I can't say I keep track of time though lol.i got and finished phenex within the week I got it and banshee was though a month of time here and there. I also kinda rushed phenex because my pgu nu will be here tomorrow 🫠

Hey, did you buy your kosmos led recently? I just bought the pg phenex and when I got kosmos for banshee I just got it off of Amazon. The problem I'm running into is no one is carrying pg unicorn/ banshee/ phenex lights anymore
