    Was sorting the cupboard out earlier & dug these out




    Been thinking I might actually put these ones up for sale as they don't really fit anymore as I'm not collecting the Diaclone or G2 stuff anymore

      Why is Loudpedal in black and white?

        Something to do with being a Diaclone version

        Did the same with Tigertracks & Silverstreak too




        Can't remember if there were any others they did now though

            The weird thing is they haven't done it with any other Diaclone repaints...I checked & all the others have proper colour boxes -

            Road Rage
            Clampdown
            Cordon
            Delta Magnus
            Spinout
            Bluestreak

            All full colour, so I have no idea why these ones were singled out

              That is very strange. Were these the first three Diaclone ones? Maybe they were going to go black and white and then changed their minds.

                No the first was Tigertracks then Silverstreak & Loudpedal was last but between all of those many of the others were released as well so they just randomly added the Loudpedal & Silverstreak boxes in amongst them lol

                It's a very strange decision lol

                  Yeah, that’s very odd.

                        Because I had no faith that Granzella would deliver the Kickstarter version of R-Type Final 2 before normal retailers, I preordered the Japanese version of the game, which came with a metal model of the R-9A. Cool! I love the R-9A design and I've never assembled anything from this model line.
                        But after three afternoons and evenings I had to give up on it. This is hands down the hardest kit I've tried to assemble. Instructions aren't particularly clear in some steps, and you are required to be very precise in how to bend the componentes; you also need to secure pieces by flattening/twisting pegs, and there are a lot of minute details that would put a Perfect Grade to shame.
                        It's a beautiful-looking model, with tons of details, but way too complicated...not to mention that I didn't have any tool dedicated to this kind of material, I had a pair of pliers but not for fine detail.
                        Some shots of the unfinished model, consisting of a quarter of a Force device, a cockpit, and about half of centre fuselage.

                            I feel this needs to be seen by everyone.

                                Real Grade Zeong. Had a lot of fun building this not-so-little thing, tons of moving parts and small details that are unfortunately lost within the model, like a red metal wire that has to be curled around the main thruster's top side.
