Occasionally I still feel the pain from when I did the tubing on my MG Zaku II 2.0.

I eventually plan on buying a Gouf 2.0 and Johnny Ridden Zaku II 2.0 sometime down the line, so I get to do even more Zaku II 2.0 tubing eventually. My thumb can already feel the pain. :suicide:

Apparently there's been 3 MG announced, a Hyaku Shiki variant, Amazing Exia and V2 Gundam, along with an RG of Wing Ver Ka :v:

There's likely going to be weight issues with the wings and the rifle but who cares a 1/144 scale Ver Ka Wing Gundam!

There's no way that Hyaku-Shiki is anything but a P-Bandai exclusive, right?

If there's any justice in the world with the MG Jesta Cannon being P-Bandai that one will be too.

The Amazing Exia has "P-Bandai" written all over it as well.

I hope it's legit because that V2 looks miles better than the HG.

And yeah, after they took the time to make the Hyaku Shiki 2.0 and the Exia Dark Matter, it would have been kind of weird if they didn't also spring for the obvious variants. They're definitely going to be P-Bandai though.

EDIT: Although to be honest, they have a track record of double releases as far as MG Build Fighters is concerned, and both of those are pretty :effort: as far as releases go. So if they straight up had nothing that month and had to push out something, those could possibly be general release.

I know someone who built an MG Acguy pretty recently and was very, very impressed with all of the little gimmicks.

Everyone should build one because he is cute and awesome. I also wouldn't mind a 2.0 version of it since the kit is like 15 years old now.

V2 is cool suit and I hope modern MG engineering will be able to make a V2 kit that isn't super fragile.

Okay, so I just started on my MG Zaku and it's all going really well until the tubing. Am I supposed to pull off each little tube bit onto the central tube? How?

When building my J-type Zaku II, I used a hobby knife to kind of whittle down the bit that the 'collars' start on. Even taking off a little helped a bunch.

If there's a P-Bandai Wings of Light addon for MG V2, I'm gonna have to find somewhere to buy P-Bandai.

Yeah, that's what I wound up doing, but getting the pieces to move off their places was still a bit of a pain. I've stopped building it for now so my thumbs can rest.

Couple of questions - I've googled "What compressor to get with an airbrush" and I always get different answers, from thousand dollar compressors to compressors that cost 150$. Nobody agrees on it, apparently! I'd like to get a relatively low profile setup and the Iwata Ninja Jet looks tiny although I've heard a thousand different opinions on that, too. So what should I get that won't absolutely break the bank and take up half my house?

Oh, and one question on sanding models - Will a matte topcoat cover up the sandmarks and make it all uniform? Do you think Army Painter matte varnish would be fine? It's the only brand I've been able to find here for some reason.

To be honest they're more likely to release MG V2 AB separately (they've done it with every other release of the V2), but if they do make it P-Bandai it's going to be the Buster parts only. There's too much poo poo going on with the Assault for a legitimate MG of it to be cost affordable as a web-exclusive unless they really barebones it.

The WoL are totally gonna be P-Bandai though!
