THE CRIMSON COMET

Notice I crammed all in one post. This is an SD after all :) Assembling this kit renewed my GunPla vigor! I knew I just had to get away from complicated kits such as Master Grades (more so with bootlegs along with its manufacturing defects). This kit is not an exception with fitting issues and such, BUT ......... read on :p BOOM! A whopping total of 4 runners!! Nitpick: This kit has a white runner. What in the world were they thinking painting this supposedly white v-fin yellow?! (Bandai has this issue too) No issues with the head.

The TT Hongli Sinanju really is tempting......... Stay tuned for the review of the 3 kits. Cheers!
