    Hey guys, I was building my MG Nu Gundam Ver. Ka and much to my surprise Bandai decided to throw me challenge. There is a runner that has a total of 8 pieces that have been affected by a molding issue (I think it’s related to the cool down time and handling). It’s definitely a runner that should not have passed in the product quality process. Any ideas on how to fix it?

    Thanks in advanced

    • you know i am building the same kit and one of the hands had a whole lot of extra plastic all over the fingers and the part that you use to help hold the weapons. i was able to clean up most of the extra plastic around the fingers and they work fine if a little tighter than normal, but the attachment piece was a loss. it wouldn’t rotate no matter how much i worked on it. luckily it was on the shield arm side so i sadly snipped it off.

      i know there are some websites that can replace parts. unfortunately i don’t know any off hand, sorry. if no one here is able to help maybe try one of the youtubers that build a lot like vegeta. they might be able to help.

        Thanks heaps for the suggestion and reply. Yeah that would be pretty annoying. I was actually thinking of going to gentaikits for replacement parts but it could get pretty pricey or try and reshape them myself even though it’s a little risky. But yeah Vegeta does really great work.

        Luckily I contacted the HLJ Parts department and they said that they can ask Bandai to send the parts over for replacement because it was a manufacture defect. Lucky HLJ has great customer service or else i’d be at a huge loss.
