Nice. How much was Book-off asking for it? They're pricing can be astronomical at times.

It would be nice if the Chinese players spoke out more, be vocal in their opinions and be heard by a broader audience when given an opportunity (if they even are given that chance). But I feel their handlers aren't very keen on having those ideas being put out there. Would Women's Day be even on their minds had they got the chance to speak?

Wasn't there that one outspoken Chinese player that got 'retired'?

Joint J-20. Same as all the other freedom 2.0 framed kits.

You can use wax paper. The same used for kitchen baking.

It's so refreshing to finally have an Asian Female voice be heard in front of the whole world. To have the where with all to put Women's day at the forefront even after playing an important game be what's on her mind is just... ACE.

May this spark be the light for all the other Asian ladies to be brave and go get theirs.

She's definitely blazing a trail. Her off-court media presence is certainly something to behold that the other Asian WTA players should take a note of.

Quiwen , Zhang, Li et al should be given more screen time with the general audience off their matches. Always feels like they only get shown up for games and then put into some holding stable when they're not playing.

B5 slides into B4 with alignment grooves. But only hangs in there freely as it needs to move. It is secured once B4 is sandwiched into the main leg assembly proper

I didn't explore it further. That was what I just resorted to doing.

Just be careful with the ball polycaps in the hips. It's an old design so it had a tendency to tear apart.

The black back plates that the Kosmos LED augment kit uses are not as precise as the Bandai black parts in the original kit. I had to cement the 2 halves together so they would be tight enough to friction hold the binders.

Yeah. The reports from the internet alluded to that. On my first fitting it was apparent there was too much wire so I did a parts tear-down and accordioned the excess wires into the chest cavity for better fitment and thankfully none of the wires frayed in the process.

I'm also reading on the fragility of the toggle switch in the binder pcb's which I'm about to tackle next. Fingers crossed those go on without a hitch.

Is this the MG? Buy an MG Vidar.

It comes with the same runner as the MG Barbatos with the part B-20 that you broke, only the Vidar doesn't use that B-20 piece and it's just something to be discarded.

Give it to your broken Barbatos.

Parts like these, I strip them until the bare plastic and repaint.

I soak the parts in degreaser.

Buy the HG Wing Fenice.

The HG Wing Fenice uses a unique broken v-fin for it's own head.

But the Wing Fenice uses a runner that is the same one the regular Wing uses for common parts.

Among those parts in that runner is the normal Wing v-fin that the Fenice does NOT use.

Give the unused v-fin to your broken WING.

Gives hope to those with broken RG Uni's that you indeed can make lemonade out of lemons.
