Sheik Mainland Yunque Model Kit

The box art alone is worth it, but the 1/144 scale parts really shine once assembled—the blue plastic has a nice, even finish that photographs well. Took me a quiet evening to snap together, and it’s a solid little display piece for the price.

The panel fit is impressively tight for a 1/144 scale kit, and the blue runner plastic has a nice satin finish right out of the box. I spent a good evening snapping it together, and the Chinese original design details are a refreshing change from the usual fare.

The blue plastic on this 1/144 scale Yunque snaps together surprisingly cleanly, and the panel lines are sharp enough that panel lining was actually fun instead of a chore. Took me about three evenings to finish, and the final silhouette looks genuinely imposing on the shelf.
