Customer Reviews
Out of the gate, this kit lined up with my expectations from a JRDF kit. The packaging was well padded and designed with straightforward diagrams of how to assemble the in-flight or landed modes of the model. The model itself is very well detailed and captures the iconic look of the Aegis Vanguard even at the 1:500 scale.
I will also confirm what another review mentioned that the gun's fittings can be too large for the mount on the body of the model. In my opinion, that's just the nature of the medium and it can be fixed by (extremely) carefully carving some excess off of the guns themselves using the same tool used to clear away the struts. It does add some complexity to the build that you should be aware of but it's certainly not something unique to JRDF's models.
Overall, a very fun kit with a good bit of options for customization that I'm very happy with. I definitely recommend for any fans of the Vanguard or anyone looking to generally expand their plastic armada.
My vanguard looks awesome. For the most part, it was perfect. 2 small imperfections though. No matter how hard I tried to get the Attrition to pop in it's spot, it wouldn't. Took me about 5 minutes to get the revenant to stay in too. Also, the base that goes together was extremely difficult to click together. I had to force it, pull it out, and repeat that a few times to get it all the way in. They're 3D printed though so I understand there's gonna be imperfections. That's why im still giving 5 stars.
