It doesn't have the same action frame. There are only 2 screws in this whole kit which is inside the shoulder pads. I'm not sure why add those 2 screws there though. And the joints are tight. They are tight enough to freeze the model in whatever pose you want it to be in, but not so tight that its hard to pose. Its excellent!! But that being said, the frame design for this model is quite ingenius. To do the crouching, the thigh armor actually seperates into 2 halves to make room for movement. The armor skirts also can go much higher than most kits to enable more movement for the legs. The gundam also has poseable heels which is another 1st, I think.

See, it's a good thing I'm astute enough to hide that strobing gif from my secretary. Let me just say this - if she foams under my table, I won't be the cause of it!!! I doubt you even have a secretary.....hehe.

*foams from mouth*

black valk: took me about 5-6 hours to fix it up. another 2-3 hours the next day to put the decals. I hate dry decals.

That's all folks. Personally the Aile and the Aegis are the only mecha from Seed I like. And I don't like Seed anime much. But this kit is excellent. I recommend it to anyone. Druna Skass: Yes...so far only the Aile is MG-ed. It may be the only one ever to become MG-ed, with possiblity for Freedom Gundam.

Notice that the shield is movable as it rests on a pivoting swing. Its not stuck to the hand and makes the hand immobile like in most kits.

Classic Aile Strike pose.

I love this pose.

Close up of face.

With the Strike pack on and decals applied.

With the armor schneiders. Schneiders??!?! Is that german for knife?

Oooh...it can crouch too!

It can aim with the scope...w000t! Like in this pic, its the 1st Gundam I owned which can actually pull off this pose properly.

I'm not as great as the greats on this board....but I loved how this kit turned out, despite 3 dry decals getting torn up by unfortunate accidents. I just did some panel lining and left the rest as it is.

awww drats....waonder if the monkeyman can do favours. How about Mail order japan?

It would've most certainly helped if you could've recommende reputable ones or ones that you've dealt with before.....

300 USD....as much as I like EVA and Rei, i'll get 2 1/48s instead.

There are way too many sub-threads already discussed about what the next Macross series should be. Everything from Destroid-stars to the Supervision Army's wars were suggested in many sub-threads discussing other things. Well...this is the thread to centralise those ideas. If you were big froating head, how will the next Macross series be like? For one, it must have music in it. It also must have valkyries. Other than these 2 requirements, everything else seems to be free-for-all. What would you like to see? For one, it would be the Destroid Team idea. I'd like to see something about Destroids taking part in huge-scale ground-based combat centered around your very normal and average Destroid pilot. I'm thinking stuff like trench warfare, orbital dropships, throw in some aliens or 2.....ok....I think I'm almost thinking about Battletech here.....have to think about the stuff that will make it Macross like how music will be incorporated in it. Secondly, probably about a special crack team of valkyrie pilots. Like, covert ops, special ops kinda ppl. Infiltrate thick into enemy lines, disrupt their lines ahead of the main force etc.

Unless they are like Jedi with super fast reflexes and can deflect them lasers. *imagines a variable X-Wing piloted by Luke Skywalker* But yeah, I guess valks should AT LEAST have a "progressive knife" of sorts.

Like that has ever stopped anyone determined enough to get what they want. There are tons of deputy services out there that let you get around the "YJA sellers don't ship overseas" red tape. Tell me more!! Please!!

Now i'm confused. I'm not even sure which one I have now.It says AIR IONISER on it....and its a very small black box which blows air out....supposedly ionised air. It doesn't have any removable filter which I can see that can be removed. But anyway, I reckon your ionic breeze and purifier actually keeps the toys dust free?
