Sky Defender Model Kit Review & Final Thoughts 

@@cilitbang12 yess , I wish more kits did this so much to keep up with

@@DellsGunplaetc. it’s just such a great idea! And so much easier changing hands for poses for later down the line!! 👍🏻

HAHAHA

@@DellsGunplaetc.

I'm super excited for everyone to get theirs and experience it

If you got yours dont build it yet,get the kosmos rgb led for this sky defender,build it with the led,it would be perfect ❤

@@fokevin35 I second this

Just got word that my pre-order bach has been delayed, and there's no eta. Might not get it until Christmas or next year at this rate😢

@@bluspeed7 that sucks 😔

They better be, they needed some competition

i wanna say thats the big sniper rifle from the ORACLE or the hyper mega bazooka from the HI NU gundam. i dont think they plan on making it just using it as an example for the hands that can be used to hold other weapons from different kits

@@DellsGunplaetc. i c thx for explaining, looks like I’m in the hunt for a long range rifle, it’ll look pretty nice with it

@@DellsGunplaetc. thx, looks like am in the hunt for a big gun lol

@@TelpPov np , and yeah it would look sick with the hyper mega launcher

Yeah I like to do that after the video so I don't risk damaging any during articulation and losing

Im glad you enjoyed it , im tempted to get another one for a custom with the kosmos set!

Dude I can't wait to see that built and installed

Hahaha 🤣, ah that's gonna be sick

Yes I am , I go it from gundamplacestore, not sure if still in stock but was 160

179* and yes they still have them in stock

Is that website good? So expensive

@@HCNY yeah order from them from time to time. and its gonna be pricey. high demand low supply id say its worth it

better imo

let me get you up to speed, this is an orginal design model kit, the third party model kit scene is booming. taking design elements from Gundam and putting a spin on it. giving us 1/100 + scale model kits since bandai has been lacking on them releases. Some of them require more work than bandai kits, but alot of them have come along way like this one. Where the fit and finish is perfect and requires little to no extra work.

@@DellsGunplaetc. Thank you for the info! Yes, I agree with you that these 3rd party kits are indeed awesome and offer way more of everything compared to Bandai. I was also looking at the V-Tiger Hi-Nu Gundam which looks pretty amazing! These 3rd party brands offer resin type builds without actually dealing with all the intricacies of a resin kit. That said, I don't know if I'm up to the task of dealing with over a thousand pieces! My hats off to you for having the Time and Patience to put this together.

@@tundak630 ive been looking at the V-tiger and it looks like it will require drilling and tightening of some fitting issues,i do plan to try and get ahold of one as i am a huge fan of the Hi Nu gundam

🤣

Head height: 27cm, total height: 34cm, wing width: 50cm

Gundamplacestore has them in stock

GundamPlaceStore is where I got mine, they still have some in stock

I plan to pre order one as soon as i can

I didn't even know about this kit until your comment, I rushed to pre-order as soon as I saw pictures of the kit

@@andrewlaboy4907 my friend MetalmanXBuilds has a review up for the apocalypse, he got a special early look :)

i do indeed have it in my backlog :)

Mine are not fragile not too tight at all. Fits perfectly

@@DellsGunplaetc. if its too tight, can i sand it?

@@FourBajeena I'm sure you can , or use the metal parts. Just be careful

@@DellsGunplaetc. what abt undergating, does it pose a problem?

@@FourBajeena nah , just a little extra time but no visible nubs. All my builds I use a gunprimr razer glass file

Turns out inner skeleton uses abs so after you finish the skeleton you can panel line the yet to be cut armor

@@coreykwan5180 I used the pour type on the armor before assembly and was just fine , just didn't use it on the gold painted parts

@@DellsGunplaetc. does it affect the gold in any way or is it just fine alone

@@coreykwan5180 the thinner to remove excess panel liner will take off the gold is all

It's worth the hype, I think this has spoiled other kits for me haha

Thanks king, it means a lot. I'm working to improve with each one

hey man to each their own, taste is subjective but i do agree more unique releases would be great. I do have the Stargazer and the LED effect rings in my backlog

and no hate , alot of the seed designs are fire. There's alot of designs that haven't made it to 1/100 yet

@@DellsGunplaetc. This is definitely my taste! I'm just not big on collecting material stuff unless it holds meaning, hence why I only collect Seed stuff cause I'll love my kits 20 years from now. Even though it would be cool af to build this and have it in my collection, can't say it's very meaningful to me beyond me a sexy mech that was fun to build haha.

Yeah I totally get that, that's why I have every nu and hi nu Gundam kit. I'm an u.c. stan

16 inches :)

@@DellsGunplaetc. Thanks! Damn, my shelf is 36.5cm, is there any poses that would drop it to this?

@@Flip5ide you could lean the base forward alot or he can stand without the base if you keep the rail guns on the back back and that will lower him to 10.5 inches

@@DellsGunplaetc. Nice one thank you! So the base is pretty thick!? Does the backpack have to be completely spread out like that or does it have some articulation to move the wing looking things up and down?

@@Flip5ide they can be folded up a good amount , base is real thick but it has storage under it

@@cilitbang12 im excited for you ! It's a joy

Bro..this is better than bandai in every way , and yes im excited to see what this kit does to the market. 0 build issues

@@DellsGunplaetc. nu based kit hopefully, sky puncher

I used pour type Gundam markers , I panel lined before snapping together most of the armor plastic is polystyrene

@@DellsGunplaetc. Great! Thank you very much!
