Bandai Hobby BAN230363 Char's Counterattack Sazabi RG 1/144 Model Kit, Red

Product Information

To put that in more concrete terms, the Sazabi at 1/144 absolutely towers over almost all other suits in the same scale. It’s nearly the same size as an average 1/100. I don’t have one handy to compare, but the MG Sazabi Ver.Ka is almost as big as a smaller 1/60 PG.

We are here to help you discover happiness, peace and your creativity through this amazing hobby of Gunpla! The inside of the funnel container is color-coded by iron color. There is a part that pulls out at the tip, but since the left and right molds also had parting lines, we remodeled it with a plastic plate. Funnel. The inside is painted in iron colors. The exterior red is also divided into two colors, the feather and the base. Finally… After five sessions of only decal work spread across four days I’m completely finished with water slides now. To quote Leonard Hofstadter “That was a very pleasurable 139 and a half hours” There are some challenges, like fitting all of the pins and pylons up exactly between two opposing shell parts. No different than the difficulties you’d expect with their plastic counterparts, but obviously since there’s no give in the metal whatsoever it just takes a bit of finesse to get it right. Aside from that, some of the plastic pieces are an extremely tight fit into the holes on the metal parts, but while that’s frustrating going together it will be for the best in the long run. It’s also very easy to cross thread the cheap screws included in the metal kit, so it’s worth taking the extra steps to spin them left a few turns before sinking them.I'll start off by saying that the RG Sazabi doesn't feel like a Real Grade, it feels more like a 1/144 scale Master Grade. I mentioned that feeling several times during the two streams ( Part 1, Part 2) over the weekend. My reasoning is that it:

Standing 18cm, the RG Sazabi towers over other 1/144 scale kits (12-13cm). The wide cowls along the feet, enlarged tail binder and massive shoulders and fuel tanks further add to the bulk of the design. The RG Sazabi truly dwarfs other models in the 1/144 scale.Color and form of the product may differ from the actual product and what is seen on screen depending on monitor settings. Due to the limited production run, we will stop accepting applications for reservations once the quantity available is fulfilled. The soles are masked for fine iron color coding. The vernier is color-coded with silver inside and iron outside. Some of the smaller sunken details showing exhaust ports or implied light lenses are almost impossible to clean up any wash that didn’t stay neatly in the lines leaving a sloppy look to those small areas. Since the funnel can be fixed on the 3.0 mm axis, it is easy to display. The injection state can be freely produced. Since the interior is painted metallic, there is little interference and it can be easily deployed and stored.

Completely avoidable self-own here, but that’s perhaps to be expected from the man who oriented his entire life around revenge, and then still got distracted dogfighting a teenager for a while. At any rate, the Sazabi did its level best, and against any other opponent in any other mobile suit, it would have been enough – it did, after all, solo most of the EFSF navy until Amuro showed up. Visually, clad in heavy samurai-looking armor and painted the customary red, it did not, under any circumstances, need to go this hard, but thank god that it did. This is the Gundam Base Exclusive clear version, but it is structurally identical to the normal RG Sazabi. I happen to have brain worms about how cool clear kits are, but if you’re new to this and want one, it’s worth noting that the clear plastic Bandai uses tends to be much harder and more brittle than their usual materials, to the point where it will dull knives and has been known to shatter nippers. Put away the God Hands for this and use a beefier set of cutters. Still, it’s helpful for this review because it lets me show off the internal mechanical details without having to wrestle the armor off. And there is a lot of mechanical detail. The weapon and the specialized manipulator from the Long Rifle for HGUC Moon Gundam can be used on this Gunpla. Since the product has a limited production run. When the number produced has been reached, we will stop accepting applications for reservations. I know I keep yammering about how heavy these metal parts are, but now that it’s 95% assembled, I really can’t stress enough what a dense piece this is.Topcoat (Mr. Hobby recommended) can be used to protect applied decals. (Water-based topcoat is recommended due to the kit having PP parts)
