Bandai 1/144 HGUC Gundam Delta Kai

[genosider]

Hello Plazone, I caught the Gundam bug after a year and a half exile to the aircraft modelling world, (and also some hustling from 2 ah peks) and built the Gundam Delta Kai one of the coolest designs I've seen in a while.

Recently it seems to be the golden age of the 1/144 HG kit as Bandai seems to be pumping out power kits after power kits; Dorven Wolf, Byarlant Custom, Anksha, Dreissen, all from their love letter to the UC universe, the Gundam Unicorn series.

The Gundam Delta kai too belongs there as the representative of the final evolution of the Zeta and Delta MS line, and is as over the top as you would expect, a powerhouse of weaponry. Beam launchers, funnels, beam cannons, and the most ridiculously massive shield you would ever see on a Gundam.

Was supposed to make it for our Local GBWC competition as part of the Delta Trio, but u know how my building style is...
2 months late to the party, here is the kit!

It's a bit of a bunch, these pics, but bear with me!

Composite beam launcher with underslung beam rifle modified from a the free Delta Plus beam rifle that came with the kit. Since the kit is based on the old Delta Plus kit, there are a lot of leftover parts and freebies to use.

Huhu, blame FB. I thought i have had post my reply long ago, until today i decided i will re-check out your delta.....

It is just so pleasing to the eyes! It is as clean n tidy as a gunpla should be! Would be a benchmark for many!
