Reddit reviews Bandai Hobby MG Gundam Kai Model Kit (1/100 Scale), Astray Red Frame

Here's the Amazon price tracker page for proof. I can't get this myself due to no money syndrome, but I hope you guys get this if you haven't already!

Not gonna lie I don't know the model number. I am not the biggest Gundam guy, I just like the way this one looked and it was fun to build. I will link the amazon page for it though :)

I think getting a couple master grades would be better than a single perfect grade.

The "HG Sengoku Astray" is based on the Astray Red Frame, which you can get in MG here: http://www.amazon.com/Bandai-Hobby-Gundam-Model-Astray/dp/B0042VJ018/ref=sr_1_1?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1411528820&sr=1-1&keywords=mg+red+frame

the BF hasn't posted here in a while so maybe you can get him non-gundam related items with the leftover money, unless you know he wants to really get into the hobby

I bought the used one on Amazon warehouse for $41, but I figured I'd share the rest with anyone else looking to pick up a Gundam with a greatsword / bow (anyone else play Monster Hunter? :p)

I think these might be more of a challenge.

Hey folks, I just recently found out about these amazing looking mecha's.

I've never built anything like this before, but I'd really like to get into it.

Also would prefer to paint my own,

been looking at this

or this

What would I have to do to paint on top of the factory paint?

The unboxing videoes I've seen online make it look really complicated, tons of small parts etc. Is this just something I need to learn through trial and error or?

Tools ?

Sorry about all the questions lol

Besides the price is there any difference between this and this? One of them says Kai and the other one says Revise.

Should be this one!

The Astray is $51.49 right now if you have prime- ordinarily it's $65. I haven't built one myself, but I've never heard anything bad about it. People generally rave about its flexibility, if anything.
