Because of some problem.... my Lucky Star twins was seriously delay..... so end up coming along with my Miku and Fraulein Yoko.
Today what I want to discuss is my latest SRW kit - EO-tech SRW 1/100 R-1. It been sometimes since the last SRW 1/100 kit was release, last one 1/100 Alty was like a year ago.
There is some disapointment for all those SRW 1/100 kit collector, this kit does not come with the pilot figure........ in exchange it comes with a stand.
From the menu you can see that there is no figure and LED included.
As usual Kotobukiya does a good thing in separating color parts.... trying their best to make it easy for modeller that are either lazy to paint or lazy to masked the part for AB.
This is the good thing about Koto kits, the 1/144 required you to masked the grey part but the 1/100 directly divide the parts into three different parts.
This is how the finish works look like
However some parts still required you to paint or mask.
This time is also the first time Kotobukiya kits comes with chrome parts..... this is the T-Link Punch from R-1. Wonder whether later we will see some special coated edition of Kotobukiya kits or not?
OOF photo...... and this is the only 1 i had.
Overall..... 1/100 R-1 is quite a dissapointment, unlike the 1/100 Alty which has great great improvement, including LED and figure..... this one just seems too plain. Its transformation is also incomplete and just some little enchancement in part changing area. To conclude it is just some bigger version of the 1/144..... but i guess this wont stop hardcore R-1 fan from collecting it.

Congratulations on getting Blanc Neige, doing a full review of her real soon now that I have all the pictures.
Nice haul, buddy. Can't wait to see you assembly this cool R1, gambateh!
The Yoko is nice also, I just love this cute sniper.
Wow! That R1 looks good. Too bad I am not into SRW yet... :P
