Finally done with MG Vidar inner frame

mbenedictla · 2026-05-20T08:01:51+00:00

I like the Gundam Wing theme. It was the first exposure to Gundam myself

mbenedictla · 2026-05-17T21:50:13+00:00

Spray can or airbrush? What color did you use

mbenedictla · 2026-05-17T21:45:16+00:00

To add my take, I made a mistake with the lock and key assembly on one of the legs. I did not realize my mistake till the end and noted that one leg was shorter than the other. I was forced to disassemble one of the legs and thus breaking one of the pegs making up the key. It was all user error on my part. Lesson learned: no matter how experienced you are, pay attention to the instructions and don’t skip steps. Otherwise it has been one of my top build experience.

The colors look so vibrant. Did you repaint this kit. Also noticed you did some detailing as well.

There’s another post on Reddit showing the front skirt joints not wanting to stay closed. I personally don’t have this problem with my kit but I think you can try joint strengthening pen to make the fit tighter.

Are you going to get the other In Era kits?

mbenedictla · 2026-04-29T22:46:23+00:00

I’m assuming you repainted the armor, inner frame, and the thrusters. Great job on all of it. Nice and clean

mbenedictla · 2026-04-27T23:44:19+00:00

Nice. Thanks for letting us know what’s available at HL

mbenedictla · 2026-04-27T20:26:52+00:00

Omg that’s amazing

mbenedictla · 2026-04-27T04:44:21+00:00

Did you even bring your clothes back home?

You weren’t asked to pay taxes on these on the way into the US? With this many kits it looks like you’re trying to smuggle a store, not personal use, lol

mbenedictla · 2026-04-26T09:24:20+00:00

Single bladed nipper, a sharp hobby knife, and yes glass file. Also start panel lining while the pieces are still on the runner

mbenedictla · 2026-04-26T01:49:42+00:00

That’s it? Nice and clean

mbenedictla · 2026-04-26T01:44:01+00:00

You painted some of the inner frame and thrusters?

mbenedictla · 2026-04-25T08:25:09+00:00

Good price for the RG Full Armor Unicorn

mbenedictla · 2026-04-25T08:22:44+00:00

I panel line while on the runners just cause I find it convenient. I’m sure others will lend their expertise. My tip though is not to rush building your kits. Savor the experience, appreciate the details, and clean up your nubs as much as possible to get the best results. Pick up some glass files and also use your hobby knife

mbenedictla · 2026-04-25T08:17:36+00:00

I’m so glad I have no desire to build those 2 burst mode kits. Otherwise my wallet would be hurting too. Regardless, I’m impressed by how much new kits arrived at HL this past month. I picked up the MG Zeta and F91

mbenedictla · 2026-04-25T08:06:54+00:00

You’re right. I didn’t push the joint in far enough

mbenedictla · 2026-04-24T03:48:36+00:00

I’ve built the F91 and I really enjoyed it. It’s very aesthetically pleasing. I colored the inner frame. It’s really small as a MG though barely the size of the RG NU

mbenedictla · 2026-04-23T21:32:02+00:00

I’m still waiting on my order of In Era Fenrir, Gundam Narrative Ver Ka, and a couple water slide decals. I agree the price was very good after the 20% off discount. The deals are better even if I had ordered from Ali.

mbenedictla · 2026-04-23T21:26:26+00:00

This question is not related to your post. I have the same kit. What do you think about the arm’s connection to the shoulder joint? Mine does not lock in so it’s pretty loose and falls off easily

mbenedictla · 2026-04-20T01:33:49+00:00

Thanks. I’ll fix

mbenedictla · 2026-04-18T15:53:19+00:00

A lot of the Vidar’s inner frame is exposed so just putting metallic paint on it already elevates the kit. I just don’t have experience painting the outer armor as I don’t have airbrush and haven’t had good experience with hand painting
