don’t think this will happen anymore. from their email, bandai is setting up a online parts replacement system for those outside japan.
that’s why hlj and other places that did parts (genteikits etc) has stopped this service as well. that or it’s too much trouble (time and money) to be the middle man for it. they didn’t have to do it as the…[Read more]
@daverb , Thanks for sharing this mail with us! That would be awesome if Bandai will finally do this!
And how cool of you to write them an email. How did you get the email address if I may ask?
Sorry, I’m just curious as a cat 😉
but i guess it only worked back then and they even covered the replacement under the customer’s responsibility (in short, even if you broke it). it seems they’ve stopped and so i got that reply from them after a week or so. i was so bummed…
Damn as usual only Italy in Europe is granted this service.
In France we are a lot of Gunpla fans and it’s been years we’re relying on personal friends in Japan to get replacement parts. Each time we are sorry to disturb them with this so when I saw your topic I was like “YEAH FINALLY!”, then I watched the video and saw the email sample and was…[Read more]
im just gunna throw this out there but on ebay theres a guy that sells certain gundam parts like astray, quebeley and other kits so you may want to check that guy out
also i know that gundamstoreandmore sell specific gundam parts too so if ur lucky and they have that one it might be good too
It’s been years that Bandai supports only Italy in Europe, that’s a shame and I don’t think it will change soon.
I know someone who was fed up with the GBWC contest rules and went on a trip to Italy to participate. He managed to apply his Gunpla but when the guys saw he wasn’t Italian they told him to get the f… out.
teetee my friend! thanks! you’ve always been a great encourager with your comments when people post their work no matter what level they’re at. Very much appreciated.
that is awesome paintwork on the weapons! good stuff. how did u do that i always wanted to paint little details like that but i never figured out how to do it 🙂
Syd, your reviews and positive feedback on the Ver 2.0 Zakus helped me choose this kit. I’d really like to get a couple more of the other variants and have them displayed together! Also, you’ve made my day by commenting on my post! YAY.
Banshee13, the idea was to have some color separation to get rid of the boring gray all over the weapons. I hand painted the handles and sprayed the long tubes of the bazooka. Also, i just like to have some copper wherever i can on those weapons and I did this with a very fine brush.
Thank you. I’m very happy with how it came out. Currently working on an HG Destiny that will also be painted. The Ez was painted with acrylics and the Destiny will be my experiment with lacquer paints. I’ll post pics of that build when completed.
Hi I am brand new to Gundam models, I have built 2 HG kits and 1 MG that I just finished today. I am already addicted to this hobby and am very much looking forward to…
First time I have ever built a gundam in years and first time panel lining, moding and top coating. I posted this before but this is the last update for this kit. I took Age-1 Fighter Normal kit and cut out pieces to fit onto the double
Thanks 🙂 It was great fun to build 🙂 Next up is a MG Freedom, MG Sinanju Stein Ver. Ka. and the PG Strike Rouge (at some point, when I get the free time! I think I am hooked now ^_^

Ah well, maybe it’ll change in the future.
Thanks for replying!
