R01 Remastered 1/144 HG Aile Strike Gundam - Part 2

Runners and Parts

One of the big changes to the Remastered HG SEED kits is the colors of the plastic.  The kits boast a new color scheme that matches the new crisp color of the HD anime.  Unfortunately, I don't have the best of lighting at my work table.  In order to show the true colors of the runners I had to turn my flash on for a few of these pics.

A plate.  The red is kind of a standard fair.  Notice without the flash, it looks kind of like a Katoki shade of red, but it is in fact very vibrant.  The grey plastic is molded in a sort of metallicy-mecha-ish-gunmetal.  The blue is a very bright true blue.  I have to say, I like what I see thus far.

Runner B.  You can see there is separations in the runners where the beam saber hand and the parts for the Aile Striker Pack could be removed.  I'm betting they planned to release HG versions of the Sword and Launcher Strike and never got around to it.

Runner C is for the Aile Striker Pack.  This is molded in a true black plastic.  Most of the time Bandai's black is more like a very dark blue/green or grey.  This is real black!

Runner D is for the Striker Pack as well.  Again, it's a true red, not this faded orangey red.

I need better lighting so bad...

Pretty standard poly-cap runner for the time of release.

Here is the foil sticker sheet.  Pretty skimpy considering the amount of color apps this kit needs.

These are the extra throw ins.  An attachment for an Action Base 2 and the clear marking seals.

Here's a closer look at the markings.

EMPTY THOSE RUNNERS!

Parts for the Torso, flash on to show true colors.

Head

Very RX-78-2 looking face plate.  It get's painted the same colors too!

Hips.  The front skirt armor can (and will) be separated.

One of the arms.  The shoulder and elbow desperately need some painting.

Leg and foot.

Weapons

You can read the picture...

^what it said^

Next time we'll look at all the painting I did for this bad boy.

Until Next Time: Happy Building!
