MSN-00100 (MSN-100, MSN-001) Hyaku Shiki - Full Review


MSN-00100 (MSN-100, MSN-001) Hyaku Shiki is a prototype attack use Mobile Suit from the Universal Century timeline. The unit was featured in Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam.

MSN-00100 (MSN-100, MSN-001) Hyaku Shiki
====================
Manufacturer: Bendi
Scale: 1/144
Series: HG
Origin: Hyaku Shiki
Price: RM12
Estimated Time Completion: 2 hours
Actual Time Completion: 3 Hours Used. (Done Include Panel Lining)



Inner Frame
- High Grade don't have Inner Frame

Joints/Articulation
- Joints are not in good positioning, some are very loose some are very tight
- Need to use Mr. Cement here & there to make the whole thing stick into places.
- Articulation is not good.. very limited.

Exterior Armour
- Plastic quality hard and need to do allot of trimming over the excess part.
- Snap-fit is impossible in most of the part.
- Firm and not easy to fit into.. broke quite a number of male peg, push in too hard into the female hole.
- Overall color is nice for the 24k gold color.
- After cutting out from the runner, I use Gundam Marker Metallic Gold to cover the nub mark.
- Overall I spend extra 1 hour to finish up the panel lining and waiting for the cement to dry.. I had used almost 50% afford using the cement for this kit.. some place was still unable to fit in properly so there's a gab in between..

Buying Recommendation
- If you are in a budget constrain, this is a good choice and with extra work
- If you are looking forward to painting and modding, do get this :)
- If you wish to do battle damage or burn this into pieces, go ahead and get Bendi :)
- But for sure I would still say this, DON'T EVER BUY BENDI! If just for fun, do get the cheapest 1 to play.. else you'll be shouting @#$%^&*() all the time you built it.

Cheers.

Yeah bro :) that's the right answer for the built.. coz I dun have much passion in problematic kits.. x.X, if 1 or 2 is still acceptable, but more than that I will be shouting here n there =,=..

nice review as always bro. although, from ur review, i get the gist of how the model looks like, how do u say it? "shitty" i guess.haha.

but im tempted to get it becoz of Quattro Bajeena a.k.a. Char!

p/s : did u use the "cut the male part" technique? itll make the snapfit easier

Hi Kamen Rider Fan,

Yeah.. I did use to cut the male part side ways so that easier for me to fit it in.. although need to apply kinda lots of cement, but at the end it's still a fun built for me.. coz after built this, n go built TT hongli, u will love TT very much haha.. coz less problem..

anyway, worth for money lo, around RM 12 per box, u can get the bling bling effect.. just for fun~

cheers
