1/8 Tifa Lockhart Ver. 2

Description

This is a fixed-pose resin-cast figure kit.

It's been nearly five years since Final Fantasy VII stormed onto the gaming field and took role-playing by force -- and though three more Final Fantasy games have been produced since then, the Final Fantasy VII characters are still popular! This is the second kit that Kotobukiya has produced, of Tifa Lockhart -- and in my opinion it is the better of the two. No mere static, standard pose is this, but a flirty, attitude-driven one, emphasising that yes, she's busty and yes, she wears a super-short skirt that doesn't hide a lot ...but she can kick your butt, and she knows it.

Sculpted by Namimatsu Tsunehisa and cast in sixteen white resin parts, the kit will practically jump together of its own accord. Superb engineering allows test-fitting within minutes of opening the box! Clean castings, very typical of Kotobukiya, mean cleanup will be a breeze. A color photo is included for a reference but hey ...if you haven't played the game, why the heck not? Find out just how well she can do a crescent kick in that skirt.

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

cement

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.

Paint

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.
