SAFS MkIII 1 of 3

I managed to track down this issue of MKW which has part 1 of 3 of this very rare resin kit. Woah this modeler really spent many months building and documenting this WIP so that he can share with us. I admire and appreciate his effort in doing this. If I were to meet him, I would treat him coffee! :)

This resin is quite rare in YAJ, the modelkasten version is not so rare, but recently fetched prices in excess of 16500 yen (w/o) shipping! I've yet to win the modelkasten version, and don't think I would even try bidding...

Anyway, enjoy slowly this WIP! Will

1/20 SAFS Mk.III resin

1/20 SAFS Mk.III resin
Here is a rare WF resin kit which a forum member had asked me to bid for him. I took the liberty to do a quite review on this before sending it out (Thanks Tudor!). Its labeled as a Trans kit, (I take it as a conversion) but includes all the parts for a full SAFS MkIII. The manufacturer is Operation Super Hammer a.k.a. Ueno-san.Thanks Jason Eaton!

On with the review, its very nicely molded with very little flash on the main body and the other parts as well. This suit is armed with a laser arm similar to the Fireball SG.
