1/35 Luna Pawn (ZWB)

Some 1/35 love finally! This is a resin kit by Zionel Western Bis, a WF item I presume. The quality and detail is pretty good, there are even rivets on the back of the lower leg, just like the WAVE Luna Pawn release. The seamlines are very shallow and can be easily cleaned up with sandpaper. One will need to add wires and tiny springs to complete it. Thanks to our fellow Darklord for allowing/requesting me to review this kit before shipping to him! :)

1/35 SAFS Prototype (Zionel Western Bis)

Here's another rare kit from WF, released by Zionel Western Bis. I believe its a conversion kit, as it does not contain all the parts for a full suit, and the instructions (in Japanese) clearly indicated that there are parts necessary to be used from another kit.
The overall casting is good, and is in white. I particularly like the helmet's shape, very nice!
2 different heads are provided (see the pictures below), and the pilot's body is also provided,
in fact the suit has details inside allowing the modeler to build it as a split suit. The only multimedia here is the radio wire.
No springs found in this kit.
