UCHG FF-X7 Core Fighter

[sunsanvil]

Its been a real slow year for me in terms of modeling but I have been picking away at the Core Fighter and finally finished it new years day...

No real mods except for scratch building the seat belts. Kinda went with my own colors and markings combination.

Really awesome work! Beautiful shading. Do those wings fold?

Looks fantastic! As Igard said the shading/colour looks amazing.

 

[sunsanvil]

yes fubar, this is one of the very few 1/35 scale Gundam related pieces. The Core Fighter was featured in early Gundam universe as a glorified ejector seat: the whole cockpit, or "core", ejects from the belly of the mobile suit and turns in to a fighter.

Igard, the kit can transform from fighter to core block, but because the tolerances were so very very tight, there was no way to do it and not completely scratch/ruin a paint job in the process of transforming so this one is glued in place as a fighter only.

Forgot the cockpit shot...

Hey Sunsanvil, Very nice job! I don't know alot about Gundam, but if I had to
eject out of a crippled mech, I'd rather go in this. At least here you have options,
whereas you don't floating down in an unarmed escape pod.
Pretty cool.
