Here is a quick look and preview of the 1/100 MBV-04-G Temjin Ver.1P from Kotobukiya which I just bought over the internet recently from hlj.com.

Not to keep  you waiting any further, let us move on to preview the initial snapshots of the 1/100 MBV-04-G Temjin Ver.1P built straight out of box first before talking any further.

Below are a breakdown of my initial thoughts after straight-building this kit out-of-box;

• The kit comes with only 14 runners which makes assembly a breeze. You could straight-build the kit and complete the assembly in less than a day.
• Colors for majority of each individual parts are molded accurately which saves time for repainting if you’re planning to straight-build it out-of-box.
• The kit holds pretty well with the exception on the shoulder and lower arm areas, the joining at these areas feels awfully fragile. They could actually breakdown if you exert pressure on them.
• As usual, Kotobukiya kits are expensive. They cost slightly more than your average Master Grade kits. You are advised not to buy them on impulsive unless you really really want them that badly or other manufacturers don’t offer a similar kit.

That sums up my initial thoughts and comments about this kit at the moment, I’ll try and get more detailed & specific when it’s completed. Just for the update on the progress, I’ve just finished the priming phase today. Should everything goes well, we should be seeing it completed by end of next week or the week after.

Did you also recently purchased a 1/100 MBV-04-G Temjin just like me or are you in the midst of planning to get one? What are your thoughts and comments if you have one already? If not, has this preview actually spur you to add this to your shopping list?
