i've looked at the pics on dalong and it seems the 100 has more line details. do they stand out well? im leaning more to the 100 for the fine details. are the slots for the beam handles on the waist loose like the 144 (a youtube vid review)? i usually am rather patient sow 2-4 weeks isnt that bad. |

Well heres food for thought: You can buy both the Shirunai and the Oowaski (spelling?) 1/144 for less than the price of buying one Akatsuki that can't put on both its packs.
But I do have a bias against large gold-plated/extra finish kits. They just don't look good. |

how do you go about ordering from hlj? i placed an order and selected paypal as a payment method. today i got the following email
Thank you very much for placing an order with HobbyLink Japan. This message is to confirm that we have received the following order and are now processing it. Customer ID: _______ Shipping Address: ____ Shipping Method: SALSP Order No.:______ BAN925654 BB#264 Blitz Gundam 1 ¥500 ¥500 Merchandise Total: ¥500 Shipping Charge: Not Yet Determined Total: ¥500 its followed along with the usual advice to check that the details are accurate. does this mean the payment has gone thru and they're setting it up so it will ship to the destination? its the first time i order from hlj, im used to HWJapan's slightly different schedule to get to the part where the order is confirmed and sent. |

I've recently bought a kit from HLJ, and that email is sent as a general notice. The will sent you another email detailing the amount that is charged against ur account including the shipping price. As for shipping speed, I selected SAL and it took 2 weeks to arrive.
Hope that helps. |

Larger image of the HG 1/144 Gundam Astraea Type F:
And as noted above, the kit will also include the V-fin to convert the Type F into the Type F2 (since technically the other parts needed to create the F2 are all Exia parts).

Astraea Type F will be a pain to recolor to the original color.My dream of making my below Sig be a HG model reality is still damn far off.......>__>
Hmmm,how are we suppose to turn it into F2 anyways if we buy the Exia parts?Since there ARE no fully red Exia parts......unless.....oh no........they dont expect us to.....[DUNDUNDUN]. At least splashing everything red is easier than delicately coloring the traditional colors.

So if you are going to be skimping out on a good compressor which one are you going to be getting? And a HP-CS for $60 that is a steal, or do you mean the HP-CR? Well if you need anything other info give me a shout.

The HG Astraea is probably no more than an HG Exia recolored red and with extra parts to turn it into the Astraea Type-F - in fact, I'm fully expecting you to be able to recreate an Exia from it, but as pure red instead . Hence, to turn it into the Astraea Type-F2 all you need to do is assemble the legs, forearms and GN Drive assembly as you would the Exia, then just assemble the rest of the shoulder, torso and head Astraea parts.
