Mercury Kit Model (1:500)

Excellent model

The delivery was smooth, the kit itself is enclosed in a custom made box. The parts are really well done. I look forward to building this kit, and hope for the Avenger Titan, The andromeda in the future.

The Magnets Work Wonders!

Overall, the model has the detailing I've come to expect from JRDF. The box was gorgeous, the model has extremely fine details, and the process of putting it all together is so streamlined. The big twist here, besides this being the biggest model I've gotten from JRDF yet, is the magnets. And boy do they make a difference. Having to settle on just one configuration for the smaller kits was probably the hardest part about building them but the magnets with this set throws that issue out the window and opens up so many more options for display. Gluing them was painless and once dried they worked wonders. I particularly love the magnetic stand. It's a small thing but it being so easy to shift from displayed in flight or landed is very gratifying. And as a bonus, the vehicle models that come with it really give an idea to the scale of the Mercury. I've said it in reviews before but I am constantly blown away by how the in-game ships don't have the sense of comparative scale that these models do. Again, I cannot recommend this kit enough and think very highly of it, but if how quickly they sold out says anything I'm not the only one who thinks that. Get one while you can!
