I'm not going to bother with a a piece by piece or a construction review. You all should have built at least one rhimos by ow, and if you haven't, whats wrong with ya?
The rhimos in it's front on glory.
The under amour and missiles are what my color chart calls fire red. The flat non gloss black is a nice colouration and the blue canopies are a joy.
WARNING. black rhimos is getting some significant mould deterioration. You need to be careful when installing the rear canopy glass, as a hole has narrowed.
looked at from above the fundamental flaw of the soft heavy plastic shows... the missile boxes get a bit droopy. The horn mace is also liable to detach at the slightest provocation.
The stickers Identifying Rete the pilot are a nice touch, and in case you are wondering it also comes with a set of genisis standard stickers so you can detail at your pleasure.
Then there is the houndie
For a start, watch out for that "safe" blade plastic. It can distort in the box and bend like a banana. Which is exactly how mine looked before i did the boiling water trick. Boil water to fill a mug, fill mug, fill another mug with cold water, dunk into boiling water, then switch to cold. repeat untill sraight enough.
The colours on this are brilliant. While I'm a fan of genisis houndie, this one looks so much better. If i was to way why, I'd guess because it's very similar, while changing the colour tones to more anime shades, making it fit better with your average zoids. The light blue understructure is a nice compliment to the pale brown armour plating, and the dark metallic brown legs and body compliment nicely too.
Cconclusion: EXTREME RECOMMENDATION
