Thexder Model Kit (Neu)

The color resin on this 1/48 kit is genuinely impressive, no painting needed for most of the armor panels. I've built a few transformable kits before and this is the first one where the mecha-to-ship swap doesn't feel like I'm about to snap something. The laser cannon alone makes it worth the shelf

The transformation between mecha and ship mode actually works smoothly, which I wasn't expecting from a resin kit this small. Paint job out of the box is clean enough that I skipped a lot of touch-up work.

The resin casting is crisp and the transformation gimmick actually works, which I didn't expect at this scale. It's a fun little build, though the instructions are a bit vague in a couple of spots and you'll want extra glue.
