  1. Runner separation tabs prove MG Jesta cannon is planned for. Lets hope they decide to release it.
    Frame seems incompatible with Jegan design though.

    1. Yes because ABS has a random chance of reacting with Greos and Mr Hobby paints which are the paints most used in Japan for Gunpla.

      The new PVC frames solve that problem. They're not going back to ABS because of solvent paint randomly destroying ABS parts.

    2. It's not a PVC frame, it's a Polystyrene frame. PVC is the material polycaps are made from.

    5. I can't seem to figure out where the green sticker goes because there doesn't seem to be a green camera on the kit. Does anybody have any ideas?

  7. The other reason for using PS frame (aside from the paint issue with ABS) is that it is better for Bandai to use less materials in their kits. They actually would like to only use one type of plastic in all their kits. Its easier to recycle and I believe they get some kind of $ bonus for that. PS is probably better for the environment, too

    The PS frame weighs less and is harder to break. Though the kits lose a bit of stability and can't hold up as much weight.
