Els Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Hello all, This is one of Ban Dai's little box scale kits. I have never watched any of the Yamato 2199 stuff but I have liked Star Blazers since I was a kid. I saw this kit at my LHS for $5.99 and couldn't pass it up. It is a very small kit and I was able to complete it in an afternoon. It did not come with any decals so I had to paint the stripes on the decks and I used some decals from my odds and ends to detail it out a little. I finished it about a month ago but had no way to post it due to photosuckit. I never realized how hard it is to take pictures of very small kits. I will keep an eye out for more of these, they are a nice, quick fun build. And just to give a size reference this is the kit with some paint bottles. At least I don't have to worry about finding space for it on the shelf. Thanks for having a look. Els Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Silenoz Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 That is really tiny... but nicely built and painted.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ikon Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Not much for the tiny kits, but you did great on that one! Especially for someone who hasn't seen SBY 2199!? If you loved the original, you'll be sure to love this one. It's available to watch from several anime sites, though they are fan subs so some are better than others at translating the dialogue. Give it a shot - and build more of your fleet! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
