ewilen Posted September 10, 2003 Share Posted September 10, 2003 I'm thinking of picking up a set. Any opinions on these model kits? Does anyone have pictures of the finished models (or in progress)? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain america Posted September 10, 2003 Share Posted September 10, 2003 Hi Ewilen. To answer your question as succinctly as possible; the Zentradi Arii kits are junk. Very low on parts count and simple to construct, they nevertheless look terrible once finished. Considering the organic design of the ships, you'd be much better off building your own from scratch.

007-vf1 Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 Hi Ewilen.Considering the organic design of the ships, you'd be much better off building your own from scratch. .....Unless you are a good modeler. You could modify and customize them a bit like I did with mine. Britaii's ship is the worse, the front end looks way flat and the depressed rivets on the "panel' lines are the worst detail put on those models. Since they are easy to build and low cost for some people, could be worth investing time on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Druna Skass Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 Kamujin's is ok. There are some fins or something like that on the bottom that are just too big, and the forward section comes off way too eaisily. Though with a little work, and omiting some parts I'm sure you can make it look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.W.Royce Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 I think they are OK. I only built the standard battleship though. The spiky things on it are a little bit big, but if you build them carefully they can turn out looking good. At least they come with some decals, I can think of a lot of cheap kits that don't . . .

Gundamhead Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 They're cool if you get them at a decent price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewilen Posted September 11, 2003 Author Share Posted September 11, 2003 Thanks for the replies. I realized after posting that there are some better pictures already available in the models section of the front page of MW. I guess I'll keep my eyes open for a bargain on them. BTW, any opinions on the 1/100 Kamujin armored space suit (IMAI)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted September 14, 2003 Share Posted September 14, 2003 I've built them all and Breetai's flagship is by far the worst one - the front of the ship is completely the wrong shape. The small SDF-1's that come with them are also pretty bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
