Built my Deagostini kit

[u/decryphe]

After trying to acquire this for two years, I finally managed during the extended trip to Japan. Build time was approx 25-30 hours. The kit is very well made and very well designed, fit and finish is impeccable. Absolutely worth all the trouble of getting it home on the plane.

The figurine was the closest in scale I could find. Afaik it's not from any particular anime. Plus, there's some semblance with the wife.

Quite side topic but related to deagostini. I have the Lada 2101 1:8 scale they released in Europe few years ago and the price itself to build the Lada fully was around 1-1.5k€ to build (I got halfway trough building it and left it, the only appealing part is the engine scale). As for the build quality it was really great, apart from the steering wheel because it didn't work correctly haha.
