I know there’s the mini kits in 1/72 and there’s the upcoming Zenith model kit in 1/48 scale. What scale will this be?

mine will be approx. scale 1/25 (23cm), however you can just scale it up or dawn in the slicer

At that size, will there be a cockpit?

Just curious. I don’t think any of the existing kits or toys or even upcoming items have that

Looks like a fun one with some cool options. From what I gather is that you definitely need to do some test fitting first and some minor surgery here and there depending on how things go, but nothing too complicated

update on the Zenith mech from Front mission Evolved

a test print...

Hey everyone, quick post! I don't know if you have seen these before, but it is an AWESOME add-on to your mecha builds!

This is a mechanical Gatling cannon that has ROTATION AND RECOIL action!!! TOTALLY COOL! They can be hard to find and sell out fast, but Hobby Search has them (at this time) for only $13.00 (plus about the same price for shipping registered mail to the U.S.). This version COMES WITH the motor, batteries and switch:

I just got mine in the mail and have yet to build it. If you're not familiar, Hobby Search is another great place to get stuff, especially if you're used to HLJ and them being out of stuff all the time. I've been buying from them for years. They seem to ship out faster than HLJ too.

The motor is a compact gear motor and they are excellent for other projects too! I bought a bunch a while back. You'll see them in high end toys and kits.

The small "ammo container" on the side holds three small 357 batteries - that come with the kit! I hear they don't last long, but adding in an external battery pack would be easy.

The Hobby Mio logo is cool too, a cat with a wrench!😻

Here's a decent review minus the motor kit that the link above DOES have. The last video shows it in action. Enjoy! - MT

Came home from a short vacation to this funny little kit I got from Wise Guys eBay store. 
It’s the IMAI 1/100 Glaug “iron type”

It looks like the runners are all painted with a thin metallic wash which I haven’t seen before. Oh, and It also included a lunar display base.  Very cool. Excited to get this going. Juggling multiple builds right now.

I have the basic one and remember some fit issues with the legs, but more fun than I expected after completion

@pengbuzz thanks 

@Big s Yeah the test fit has plenty of issues with alignment but not surprised. I’m going to stick with the classic gray/red scheme when the time comes.

You should get the new Hasegawa version to build and have a Glaug family. Maybe get the nichimo one as well for the baby
