Este fue el segundo model kit que ensamble y fue toda una sorpresa (una agradable, por supuesto...).
En ese tiempo imaginaba que todos los snap kits de Bandai manejaban el mismo tamaño final (unos 20 cm. de alto), pero luego del armado descubrí que tenía solo 13 cm de alto (!); y no solo eso, me pude percatar que la calidad de los terminados y el nivel de articulación era mejor que el de muchas figuras de acción que había visto (de mayor tamaño).
Su tamaño en la vida real sería de 18 m y su peso de 41,6 toneladas. Este modelo en particular cuenta con bazuka, fusil, sable láser, escudo, dos juegos de manos, tenazas dentro de los brazos, un avión tipo caza de combate y un sistema de propulsión con toberas en la parte posterior (de allí que la caja en la que viene, sea relativamente grande).
Su manual de instrucciones (como en todos los model kit de Bandai) viene en japonés, con suficientes ilustraciones para "hacerse entender".
No sobra comentar, que estos model kits de escala pequeña (1/144 y todos lo demás...) requieren bastante destreza, precisión, paciencia y pulso para cortar las piezas del árbol, el ensamblaje y sobretodo la colocación de stickers (es indispensable conseguir una pinza cortadora, un cortador, un bisturí, tijeras, copitos y palillos de madera para facilitar la colocación de stickers, como herramientas básicas).
ENGLISH
This was my second model kit assembled and it was a great surprise for me (a nice one, of course).
At that time, I thought that all the Bandai’s snap model kits were made to have the same final size (20 cm high approx.), but after the join process it had only 13 cm high (!) and I was amazed by its excellent quality and level of articulation (better than other type of figures with the same size).
Its size in the real life would be 18 m and its weight 41,6 t. This model in particular has the following accessories: 1 folding bazooka, 1 beam rifle, 1 beam saber, 1 shield, 2 pairs of hands, 1 pair of folding arms (inside the arms), 1 core fighter and movable thrusters (that’s the reason why it comes in a bigger box that other HG models).
It comes also with a complete instruction manual (as usual in all Bandai model kits) in Japanese, with excellent illustrations (so it’s relatively easy to understand).
It’s important to comment, that these small scale (1/144) model kits requires skill, precision and patience to cut off the pieces of the trees and so for the assembly and decoration with the stickers and/or decals available (it will be helpful a fine cutter, a hobby knife, scissors, wooden toothpicks and cotton swabs)
