1/100 Akatsuki

A modeleler in Japan has posted pics up of his completed 1/100 Akatsuki Full Set and the only thing that I can say is that this is one pretty model.

Bandai has heard the cries of many modelers who like these mirror finishes but hate the look of it because of the nasty seams (i.e. 1/100 Force Impulse extra finish). With the Akatsuki Bandai has taken care of it and even though this kit is expensive for a 1/100 SEED, its well worth it.

I have two on order and they are on their way from Japan. When the model arrives all I will pretty much need to paint are the non-plated parts. Ahh... if only the Strike Freedom would have had this kind of gold plating. Click this link for more pics of the completed Akatsuki Full Set.
