1/24 ATH-Q58 Berserga DT

by Max Factory

$60.36 USD $67.07 USD

Description

This is a soft-vinyl (PVC) kit of a science-fiction/anime item.

It's been a long time since we've had such nice Votoms models in a big scale! This Berserga DT is extremely nicely-molded in soft vinyl (PVC), with resin-cast pipes and other parts. The vinyl parts are really crisply-detailed, which is nice to see in this medium, and completely not surprising given that this comes from Max Factory. Paint and glue (CA/Krazy Glue) will be required. 57 vinyl parts plus 7 resin parts make this a fairly complex kit, but well worth the effort for the final results. A painting scheme is included, in Japanese (basically: the main body is navy blue and purple; the parts indicated with a fine grid pattern are to be painted a mix of character yellow and white plus a touch of red; the parts indicated in grey are to be painted maroon plus red; the parts indicated with a diagonal pattern are to be painted white with a touch of purple. That's all the instructions say; sorry we can't give exact measurements for the mixes!). Photos on the box featuring the completed model will help as well.

Assembly Guide

Skill Level 3:

Basic Skills Required

Kits rated as skill level 3 are traditional model kits that require all basic modeling skills to complete. This includes cutting parts from runners and trimming or sanding them prior to use, assembling them with cement, and the use of paint to complete them.

To properly complete a level 3 kit, you should have at least a basic set of modeling supplies, including plastic nippers, a hobby knife, files and/or sandpaper, plastic cement, instant (cyanoacrylate) cement (for resin, soft-vinyl or metal parts), painting supplies including brushes, paint, thinner and masking tape, tweezers and possibly decal softener for applying decals to difficult areas.

Kits in this class are not suitable for small children unless there is complete parental supervision. Adults who have never before completed a plastic model kit may want to read one of the many excellent modeling guides available at most hobby shops before trying to build one of these kits.

Skill level 3 kits include a very large portion of our catalog. Most traditional plastic model kits fall into this category.

Cement Required

This item requries the use of cement (glue) to complete. For injection-plastic kits, use the weld-type clear cement specifically designed for use on styrene plastic. For some smaller parts, you may wish to use instant type (cyanoacrylate) glue. For resin, white metal, soft vinyl and photo-etched materials, the use of instant type cement is strongly recommended.

A SAFETY NOTE ABOUT INSTANT CEMENT

Parents and all modelers should note that instant cement (cyanoacrylate) bonds skin instantly. While this in itself is not harmful, forcibly attempting to pull the skin apart can tear the skin and cause injury. If you or your child happens to inadvertenly glue themselves with instant cement, don't pull, but use remover for instant cement, or nail polish remover to dissolve the bond instead.

Painting Required

This model kit or accessory must be painted in order to achieve a realistic appearance.

While there are slight differences depending on the country you live in, there are generally three types of paint available for modeling: Acrylic, Enamel and Lacquer. Their characteristics are described below.
