[Review] DENGEKI HOBBY 1/144 GM TYPE C WAGTAIL CONVERSION

Here’s a quick review of the “Wagtail” conversion kit included with the Dengeki Hobby Magazine May 2011 Issue for the HGUC GM Type C. But first, a few shots of the HGUC GM Type C before the conversion:

THOUGHTS:

Got this kit while it was still cheap on online stores. The HGUC GM Type C is a decent kit itself, and it’s great that the conversion kit uses it as a base. You’ll need to put a crap ton of work into this kit to make it look good though, so if you’re not lazy and you’re looking for a project to kill time, this is it.

GOOD

-AoZ
-New shield
-New rifle
-Limited but not as insanely expensive as magazine kits like the Hrududu or Primrose Escape Pod

BAD

-pretty low price:value ratio by the time this has been posted
-lots of time and effort required
