For larger kits, I'm inclined to ask my contact in Hong Kong to buy locally, then mail to me.

I meant to ask for your impression regarding the kit, not how you located the item for purchase.

Bleh, please excuse my infallible reading comprehension.I meant to ask for your impression regarding the kit, not how you located the item for purchase.
It's a unique set in terms of detail. I don't think there's another set I've seen that has a greater proportion of rises and depressions to flat plastic per piece.
WHICH MAKES PANEL-LINING THIS THING A STRAIGHT-UP BITCH. And that's on top of the ridiculous choice of making all decals dry-rub; why in the world would you do that when there's not enough flat surface area to secure them down with tape?
Also, not sure how to feel about hard-plastic caps for joints. Articulation's stiffer because of them, and I'm more afraid of over-posing this compared to other kits.
Still, despite all my gripes, this is going to turn out to be a set that's really worth assembling because of the nice detail. May opt to buy a sheet of waterslides, unless someone can suggest a good trick for applying dry-rubs perfectly in small areas.
