So black tracks-sorry "loud pedal" came today, I'm excited, thrilled, and a little dissapointed.
I got a shit set up so I won't go over the whole thing but as expected, the toy had some scuff marks, right on the bonnet which was dissapointing but I was prepared thanks to my time with gunpla (pre-injected gloss is a bitch), not that I'll be fixing it, the grey plastic is kinda swirly, not my kinda thing but its better than what I expected (think mp11 starscream grey).
One nice touch photos could never do justice is the mouthplate, its actually painted in a different grey to the body and stands out, you can tell because there is...some paint wear on it already, you can *just* see it here.
He truly was worth the money though, and I'm glad the eyes aren't as hard to see as what they are on film (I always thought they kinda got lost in the helmet design but they look fine in hand).
And yes, I do have tracks and rage rage, the gloss is very high, though I'm suspecting unlike tracks the body isn't *actually* painted, the paint thickness suggest to me it could just be drenched in lacquer gloss paint as it reminds me of some of my earlier models.
Not that I'm going to test that, TLDR he's fucking sexy despite QC flaws.
Fun fact, he was double tapped and still had scuffs, those guys at vietnam know their stuff
