Comparison in size with Fauna
Since this is the first mech model I built, I can’t really compare it to any other model kits. It definitely took quite a bit of work to put together, but the end result was well worth it. The number of movable parts it has along with the customization allowed (Regular, Assault, or Flight modes) is mind-boggling.
I don’t really want to play around with it too much and switch it between the different modes because some parts can fall off when you’re moving the joints, and it’s a pain to put back on. Otherwise, it’s a top notch model that does justice to the White-Glint. The amount of details it has is staggering, as would be expected with 350 pieces. However, some areas could use better coloring (e.g. Inside of the missile launchers).
The comparison photo was to show that these models are really not that big. Max Factory’s 1/8 PVC Fauna is taller than it if you don’t count its missile launchers.
Don’t know what White-Glint is? See it in action from the Armored Core: For Answer Intro!
*Amazing* game once you learn how to play, plus it has epic music! I think I’ll go play it for a bit now. ^^;
