Robogear Condor

Was always a bit curious about the unusual kits that come out of Russia from http://www.tehnolog.ru I picked up this kit from eBay

Not many parts but a bit of cleanup is required. The plastic used is a bit cheap feeling, not quite the same as styrene used in Japanese or GW kits.

The kit went together pretty easily. Just needed some putty to clean up the joins.

The figure that came with the kit looks like a tiny action figure. The detail isn't very fine and the proportions are a bit crap. The cockpit is designed for him to just sit in there. There's no real seat detail or anything particularly detailed inside. Would be easy to make something out of styrene I think.

It's a stumpy little kit with a big body and a tiny set of wings and tail but I kinda like it. The under the body missile launchers aren't any good but the wing rocket pods look great. I think the kit could be an OK alternative to the new chibi space marine flyer. At about $16 from eBay you could almost have 5 of these for the price of one marine flyer.
