Well, if you look at the parts commonality for it and compare it to the others it's no big surprise, really.

I find it weird that they would release the Amatsu RE2 instead of the RE1. But knowing bandai they always get as much from a mold as possible (all the zaku) so it wouldn't surprise me if we get a RE1 in the the near future.

As much as I would like to have a 1/100 Ginn or Guaiz I think a 1/100 Strike Noir might come around first.

PS: Is there a IWSP pack for the MG Strike? I remember seeing one but I can't find it anywhere.

Thanks.

I think there was a resin kit that made the IWSP but I'm not sure who made it.

I think grade 1000 or something like that, not available in your typical hardware shop. You could try your local ACE though, heard there is some of those high-grade sandpapers there (here at least).

Do you think it's possible to find the sandpaper (I don't know which kind) in online stores? Under hobby supplies???

I don't believe it's worth buying sandpaper online. You have to pay shipping for something so small.

You might be able to find them online. But I would check your local hardware store I don't know about where other people live. where I am you can find that kind of higher grade sandpaper at Home Depot. I think it depends on where you live try your local hardware store if not then maybe online but I don't think its worth it online.

Try automotive body shops. They might carry finer grades of sandpaper/polishing pads for automotive paint/body work.

I tend to order all my supplies online in bulk including paints, brushes, putty, sandpaper and the like so shipping cost isn't a concern for me.

I noticed this tonight. The knee joints, feet, and arms of the Infinite Justice and Legend were nearly identical.

Here's what I got pre-panel lines. The Legend just looks too plain without them. Really not digging the stickers either. I think I'll have to find a brush and paint.

Holy cow, way too big. Time to shrink.

Much better.

Wow. They look good. Just wondering, does the Legend stand come with the lil name tags as well? Or it's just a name tag for Legend Gundam? Can you post a few pics with the two models on the same stand as well?

Thanks. The Legend came with the tag but just a sticker for the Legend. There are parts to adapt the stand to accommodate the Destiny and the Strike Freedom. I don't have the Destiny but I have a Strike I can try and put on it. Gimme a few.

There you go. There's a different part for the Destiny. You can see it at the base of the stand in the first picture.
