Neova Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 (edited) I was looking, drooling and painstakingly walking away from those beautiful yet expensive (I hate ebay) IMAI 1/48 Mospeada Variable Legioss Kits until yesterday where I stumbled across this kit. I nabbed it quick! Trash or Treasure? Edited December 10, 2003 by Neova Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kam63 Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Treasure....depending how much you paid for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neova Posted December 10, 2003 Author Share Posted December 10, 2003 Instruction sheet. Kit includes 3 different heads to build all 3 types. I wish I found more so I could build the Black Shadow version (don't hate me for using R*references). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfunk Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 I got all three, They never made a "shadow" but they arfe demanding quite a high price tag now. I paid less then $20 for each about 4 months ago. I plan on doing some customizing like the one Jung did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoptimus Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Definatley Treasure. It is not as proportioned as the non-variable 1/72 kits but it is a cool kit. Hard to find now too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neova Posted December 10, 2003 Author Share Posted December 10, 2003 I always liked the Legioss so it was cool to nab this one. pfunk, if and when you get around to building it, can you please post a how-to? I don't want to mess this kit up since it was so hard to find and expensive to replace. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyowelb Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Neova, I believe someone asked about 'how-to-built' an 1/48 imai. here's the thread scroll down a bit and you'll see the links shawn posted. dyowelb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfunk Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Yup, very good link. Its going to be a while before I build mine (remodeling basement, and doing zentadi pods 1st), but I plan on ussing ball joints and gundam hands and making the hips rotateable, thiers a lot of people who have done it allready. Best thing I can recommend is a lot of test fitting, cause it is a pretty loose kit when it comes to tthe moving parts. If you look, you can find the Red version labeled as Leader1 from the gobots. Try it, I bought 2 of those on ebay for pretty cheap (traded it allready) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zentrandude Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 i dont realy like the missle back that fits between the arms in fighter and hangs off the left arm in ammo-driva mode (im not good on mospeda terms) also keep an eye on those little missles that fit in it. you can easily lose them.

bsu legato Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Sorry, it's trash. You should box it up and ship it to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neova Posted December 11, 2003 Author Share Posted December 11, 2003 pfunk, where can I get the gundam hands only? or is there a CHEAP kit I snag the hands from? I don't know where to buy ball joints but I'll hitup the hobby shops here. dyowelb, thanks for the link again! that will help! bsu legato, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 Was that missile pod that hangs of the left shoulder ever shown in the anime, or is it specific to the model kits? Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
