Maybe painting it will be better. For me at least glue doesn't always work for making the joints more sturdier again.

I don't exactly have the option to spraypaint/airbursh; one of the reasons some kits I really want to do justice to have to wait a bit. (lack of space, Im crippled for at least another half year, allergies with other people living near me etc)
Ill try glue/gundam marker; in the worst case ill just keep it on an action base in "repair mode" :p

More HG Gundam Zabanya:

It's so beautiful. Can't wait to get mine.

When I first saw the designs of the Harute and Zabanya I thought they where awful.

Now I want them the most, Sure the containers are "just there" but I figure that during combat they almost never just hang on his back anyway.

Something is wrong with Harute...

there is hope that the 1:100 has all 10 rifle instead of 2 rifle and 8 fake containers :(

Do we even know if there will be 1/100's?

Zabanya rocks with its containers and green sniper-gunner tradition ;] My Lockon collection is about to grow even larger, yiipee!

Sooooo the HG 1/144 Zabanya comes with 2 Sniper Rifles and 10 removable Holster Bits? Plus are those Pistols part of the Sniper Rifle itself like in the movie or separate parts?

Judging by this picture, it seems the parts can separate.


Also, here's a colored model of the Harute

*facepalms* They got the names switched up...

I never realized it till now but.. Does Harute have an orange faceplate?

That's not an orange faceplate you're seeing, that's just one of the orange fins on the Harute's chest blocking the view of its face :heh:

Sigh............we get only 2 Rifle bits out of 10?? This is the cruelest Bandai marketing trick ever -_-. I wanted to pose lots of rifle bits together......

I personally don't mind having just the two Rifle Bits. Hell, I don't even pose any of my Gundams with remote weapons deployed, since I not only lack the means to pose them outside of storage but they tend to be easily lost. It's not like I play with my models a lot too, so having just two rifles for posting with the Zabanya doesn't bother me at all :heh:

Indeed a bit of a shame we get only 2, but not unexpected.

So...What do you guys hope the big December MG will be?

maybe MG 00 Raiser, but as they mentioned before V2 is under final configuration and 00 in development, so the clothest one might a V2 ver Ka, maybe with Assault Buster in the future :|

It does for me though, I like seeing Bits floating around in a pose. The true replication of the Bits pose in the anime will not be given, but with my own improvisation I can make it work. But I need the actual Bits and I dont have the money to shelve 5 HG Zabanyas (TAs will be in a different color and a rerelease for some variant or whatever will not only be far away).

I wish they'd give us 4 though..................even Cherudim gave us 3 weapons. I personally never minded if they've made it like a Cherudim GNHW/R set, with all the Bits and all. Oh well, such is life of a gunpla modeler.

Depending how many parts they are made off letting a site like HLJ order the parts for you might work?

I mean you are from malasya so that might be affordable for you.
