Like most RG kits, construction of the Gundam begins with the feet. The Aile is no different. There's a small thruster mounted to the bottom of the foot before you start putting on the armor.
 |
| More armor |
 |
| Ankle armor added too |
 |
| First leg complete. I was in the zone and didn't take any WIP shots |
 |
| Right leg, frame on the left, armor on the right. |
 |
| Feet and legs, Aile style |
 |
| Standard waist skirts and frame. These are on ball joints, but they look like they'll hold a lot better than the RX-78-2 RG. |
 |
| Shoulder frames. Look at that gorgeous detailing that's about to be covered up. |
 |
| Shoulder armor added. One piece on each side. Lots of panel lines. |
 |
| Left arm. And those evil foil stickers. Lets see if they hold on any better than the RX-78-2 RG. |
 |
| All armored up. Using basic fist right now. |
 |
| Looks like as close to a full 180* armor bend as possible. |
 |
| Arms, legs, feet, ankles, waist, and shoulders. |
 |
| Chest starts with this piece off the B runner |
 |
| Then a cockpit is built. It even opens |
 |
| Look at it. Amazing what can be done with a model kit now. |
 |
| Attach the cockpit (now closed) to the chest frame |
 |
| Then build up the armor around it |
 |
| Another view of the chest. One blue, two red, and two white. |
 |
| There seems to be something missing... |
 |
Inner frame of the Strike head. I think I prefer the MG 2.0 RM sculpt a little better. |
 |
| Completed head |
 |
| All the pieces to the Strike. |
 |
| Let the panel lining begin |
 |
| The difference a little lining makes |
