I ordered it from Tatsu Hobby, along with some other items - a clear base, and some SAGE Sinanju Decals and SAGE screws.
Firstly, a review of Tatsu Hobby - I ordered this on a Friday, so I was expecting to not receive it for some time. But after I had seen that my order was still "Processing" on Wednesday (yesterday), I emailed support. I got a reply within an hour saying that they were waiting for the shipment of Banshee conversion kits to come that day, and my kit would be in the mail. Last night I got a shipping notice, and I got it today! What great customer service - they even shipped it priority for me free of charge. I give them 5 out of 5 stars, easily.
Here are some pics of my Neograde Banshee conversion kit. It was smaller than I expected it to be! I put the Tamiya paint in there for reference.
A few things to note:
- This is my first resin kit
- There is minor "bubbling" on this kit
- I have to remove some mold binders - I was not aware I had to do this on resin kits, but now I do.
- I really only bought this kit for the head. I am not too excited about the gatling guns, honestly. They seem a bit ostentatious to me.
^^ You can see some of the parts I have to cut off. Frankly I'm scared because I've never worked with resin haha.
^^You can see the resin holes created by bubbles in the casting process. I'll probably have to go to the store and get some stuff to fill it in... lame.
dude, i love it i love it. only problem i have with it is that it's resin, and those holes and fragileness of that stuff is exactly why I'm afraid of it. but if you can make it look cool, i say "DO IT!" Also, do all resin kits have holes in them like that?
