Danf...that sucks. But I can't afford one, I'm saving up for HMM Gojulas The Ogre. And for Pokemon Sun and/or Moon. I gotta squirrel away cash.

Well i actually calculated the price including extra taxes but sometimes a package slips by customs. I thought this was the case as normally i use EMS and if you have to pay customs you have to do it before they will give you the package. FedEx just uses a different system where they pay the tax for you and then send you a bill for it afterward. So i counted myself lucky too soon, but it's actually the price i was willing to pay already  |

Well someone could beat me to it, but i fully plan to take some pics once i start building and make a vid once it's done, but i'm still not done with birthday gifts i'm working on (finished one, still have to finish another) before i can start. When i started building model kits again i read somewhere that you end up with more backlog than finished models pretty quickly, and i laughed at that....but now i'm sitting with a few unfinished aircraft, a boat, some cars, 2 Macross VF-25's and 4 ZOIDS...hahaha  |

Thanks for the detailed review Ironman. The clear plastic on the butt looks weird. Anyways, adding this to my need-to-get list.

Great review! If I ever do get this kit, it's going to get some paint anyway.  |

Glad everyone enjoys the review!
I also plan to paint it but I have noticed a lack of reviews (on the whole internet, not pointing any fingers here) for the Masterpiece kits in general so wanted to do a direct out-of-the-box. It was a pleasant surprise though, I'm glad to see the vast improvement from the previous kit to this one~

Awesome review! I have to assume we won't get another Masterpiece, so I think Saber Tiger will be a must have for me Great review! If I ever do get this kit, it's going to get some paint anyway. Any idea on how to make those clear red parts look better? Any colors that would compliment them? |

While you are probably right, I am going to keep dreaming, because this line is honestly really great. This is the most satisfied I've been with a Zoids release since I was really young~ So I am at least hoping there will be more hehehe |

Any idea on how to make those clear red parts look better? Any colors that would compliment them? Looking at the rest of the kit, I would either go with a dark, flat red, like Insignia Red, or British Crimson, perhaps either of them with a dot of black? Either that or go contrasty... just do flat black! |

I had a Zaber Fang years ago I painted over the dark blue with flat black, much easier on the eyes I°D |
