Damn, I can't see that.  Grey size 6 font.  Where the hell are my glasses?  Thanks roflmao.

A hundy for that model seems like a pretty decent deal.  When it arrives what's included?  Do you get to paint every aspect or are some parts pre-painted?

Wait... That might be in the damn link too.  *Fifty runs off to check*

Without seeing the size or complexity of the kit I can't say if $100 is a good deal or not. It better be pretty f*cking big and have a good gimmick or two to justify that price. Franky, I'd rather have one of the R- Type garage kits that have been released.  If you have the skill, resin is often easier to work worth when you want something fixed pose, than IP now that IP kits have gotten so ridiculously complicated.

BTW, HLJ lists this kit for $55 preorder, due in August.

$55 is more tempting.  Still I have so many models and minis to complete....  Ugh.

I still prefer the look of the first R-Type model, but I agree that $55 is easier to swallow.

Wow, that R-Type model is amazing. I've always wanted to get into model building but never really have had the patience for painting or applying decals.

I've been wanting to build the r-type kit but the prices for it are really high. I just built the Darius kit though and I think it turned out really nice. I just started modeling again recently and this was my first kit I completely painted and detailed.

Very nice Punkic. How much did you have to paint on the model ?

I painted everything with spray paints and i panel lined with grey and black gundam markers and a green micron marker for the thrusters then I did 2 layers of clearcoat. Not the cheapest way to go about painting  but I think it turned out really nice. Not sure what I will do with my next kit which will probably be a mech since the spray is expensive. Not quite ready for airbrushing though.

Nice, im not really ready for spray painting. I have a few duplicate gundam kits (custom Gouf, and zaku) that i plan on painting and adding battle effects to soon. Gotta finish my real grade zaku and real grade rx -78 first

Awesome I was just looking for a thread like this the other night but didn't find any :) I'm on too many forums already and didn't want to join up on one just to share my couple of pics.
If you use instagram there's lots of awesome people on there with some crazy awesome work.
