I decided to take this kit off the shelf and give it a whirl. It's one of the Gamilas space carriers seen in the recent SBY 2199 series. Bandai has a series of kits of various capital ships and fighters from the series in box scale. They're all about 3" in length when completed so there is no constant scale to them but they are a fun and quick build. Here's the parts overview: I guess space is the only place you can pull of having a purple carrier. I started by painting the flight decks light grey. I then masked this off for the deck markings with 0.4 and 0.7mm masking tape.

"We're off to outer space!..." I decided to pull a kit out of the stash and give it a go. JohnnyCrash said I should get something sci-fi built so I picked this one: It's the primary space fighter for the Earth Defence Force from the original Space Battleship Yamato anime. The EX series was launched by Bandai as their advanced series of kits in terms of details and assembly. That being said, it's still a press fit kit but at least it comes with decals instead of stickers. Upon opening the kit, I noticed that some parts had been painted with primer but that was all. I have a feeling that I shelved it based on the complicated paint scheme. The instructions include templates for the big arrow markings so I think I'm up to the challenge now. Here are some of the locating pins. Even though the fit is very precise, I still used some cement. It's the only way to be sure. The fuselage and wings together. The cockpit goes in after. Hey, an aircraft model where you don't build the cockpit as the first step Carl

Well, I decided to take a quick break from the AWV GB and build something less involved: This is the recent release from Bandai in their Mecha Collection series of small scale ships from the recent Space Battleship Yamato 2199 anime series. I remember watching the English dubbed version which was called Star Blazers weekday mornings and then running to school so I wouldn't be late. It's a small snap kit, but has quite a bit of detail to it: Oh yeah, it's molded in colour too with the parts breakdown based on the main colour scheme.:
