IGT8 build #3

Complete most of the chassis build except the middle gear box which I think the wrong screws have been placed in the bag. 




The next RG project

 RG Z'Gok MSM-07s - look like it has less parts than the RG RX-78-2.

E Model Ironman

Mark 46 and 49. Nice packaging. The manual is clear, with both English and Chinese instructions. 







IGT8 build #2

 Front gear box and suspension arms are done so far, smooth build and parts are nicely made. 


When screwing into carbon graphite plate, make sure to apply a little bit of black grease on the screw to avoid damage of the graphite plate.

Re Release Hotshot chassis built

Think I started to build this hotshot 7-8 years ago. But I never get it done until recently.

I lost my original 1985 Hotshot which ran into the sea of Hong Kong in the 80s due to radio jam. It marked a scar inside me.

In 2021, I got it built up again, although it is never the same Hotshot, it is still a classic design chassis. Too lazy to fit in a brushless system inside the water proof compartment, just go with the old brush system which has a very small footprint. 

I did not drill hole on body shell for the antenna, and let the receive antenna wire to run through the roll cage instead. 

Yet to complete the motor wiring and the body shell paint job. Sure soon to get all done this time.

RG RX-78-2 #12

Decided to ignore the weapons for time being, and call for an end to the project. 

It has been a good 6 months to complete this RG kit, my first RG, and my first RX-78-2 !

A lot of flaws, eg, broke the left leg "bone", some armour pieces are too thin and I did broke some of them when fitting together, the head - the rear camera I think I put in a wrong angle and try to fix it but end up scratch more .... etc, good news is that RG is small and its flaws are even smaller :) overall good lessons learnt, I have to say I enjoyed it much, satifaction is much more than the HG Zaku F2 I built last time.
