What's in the box - 1/35 Citroën Traction 11CV Staff Car

Received this kit as part of a gift exchange at my local modeling club. I'd like to tell you something about the kit or the vehicle, but I don't know anything about either. So this will quite the learning experience.

First up, the box. It's about the size of an HG. Nice artwork. Not many images of the actual kit though.

So what's in the box? Few bags of parts, some instructions, stencils for masking of the clear parts, and some decals.

First up is the manual. It's all black and white. Personally, I'm not a fan of that. Instructions are in a few different languages which is nice. I really only need the English parts, but it's nice that the other languages are there. Really nice to have it for the sections that discuss the story of the car. That section is highlighted in the images below. The painting guide is pretty simple. Nice that the company that makes the kit also has a line of paint.

Next up a is a separate paper labeled "Tech Tips." What's on this page is a set of stencils for the masking of all of the windows. Pretty cool idea, but I don't know if they are necessary or not.

Next are the decals. They look pretty nice. Hopefully they work as good as they look.

Lastly are the parts of the kit. They look pretty nice. Looks nicer than the Camero kit I've been working on. I'm interested in seeing how this kit goes together.

Well that's all. After the holidays I'll probably start snapping this guy together. So until then...

What's in the box? - 1/144 Fire Valkyrie

Was given this kit as a gift a month or so ago. Feeling that snapping together another kit, so I figured work on this little kit. But before that, let's see what's in the box.

The box itself isn't very big. Somewhere between and SD and an HG. Considering the age, the box art is fairly nice.

Here's what's inside.

The manual is pretty basic. Color photo on the cover, 2 pages of black and white instructions, and a colored color guide on the back.

Time for the parts now. You can see the age in this kit. Not much detail, the basic looks and feels cheaper, and there's almost no color separation.

To help with the lack of colors, there's a ton of stickers.

Well that's all. Now to snap it together.

What's in the box? - 1/100 AGE-1 Razor Conversion

Just received this conversion kit from e2046.

Inside the box are two bags of parts, some instructions, and a picture.

Here's the pic.

And the instructions and parts list.

Lastly, the parts. They look pretty good. This is the first Gundam kit I have purchased from e2046. Wasn't really sure what to expect. With just a quick look, the quality appears to be pretty good. Interesting that the blades are clear. Might lead to a change in color scheme... Anyways here are some pics of the parts.

Well that's all for now.
