Hai guise, whats goin' on in this thread?

That kit would be great just to pull to bits and use them on something else.

That's not a gundam, it's a line whose name I can't remember but they're like retrotech WWII stuff. It's been around forever, they have some great power armor designs.

I don't know much about the gundam universe (so I defer to those more in the know). It's being sold as a Gundam and its on the armored car paint page posted at the top of this thread. It may be part of an expanding product line. (Not sure) And yeah, there is a LOT of great sci-fi 1/35 product out there. Hmmmm, Bandai may be using gundam here in reference to armored and not the "Gundam" giant robots we all think of... (Again not sure)

Here is a catalog listing for it (Zeon Mobile Scout Set)...

That would be great for cutting your lawn.

It's from the old SF3D series (the fanbike), not Gundam.

Retro-futurist stuff.

Though the armour suits were good.

The hover bike ( WAPPA ) is from Gundam ( Zeon faction ). The very first conflict of gundam history , anime in 1979 (but no appearance in the original anime )

Aside from the original anime , there are many novels / mangas / anime made as side story :

# 1.3 Mobile Suit Gundam - Char's Deleted Affair - A portrait of a young comet
# 1.4 Zeta Gundam
# 1.5 Char's Counterattack

Mobile Suit Gundam MS IGLOO 2004
Mobile Suit Gundam MS IGLOO 2: Gravity Front 2006 <the Wappa is in one of these>

@chrome: while it *looks* like SF3D / MaK, due to the style and detailing, it's clearly got a Zeon crest on the rear fan. Therefore, Gundam.
