starting anyther new/old build ..    going back to the 80s anime armed trooper with this 1/24 Scoopdog Turbo Custom by Takara(later got bought out by wave).  an old school classic. 

This kit was purchased about 15years ago, it's one of the re-print with the resin parts,  photo etching detail parts, and extra hand/fists .    I'm a sucker for that bulky dumbass look ..   

Comes with Chirico in both pilot and standing form .

Test fitting, very different flavour when comparing to the newer Bandai release.

Shrinkages that requires some filling and sanding ..      I actually enjoy going back to old school kits where most parts are done in 2 pieces.  Simple gluing, filling and sanding ..    got spoiled by Bandai too much in the past 20+ years .. 

more filling and sanding ...   this used to be the standard procedures in the old days ..  

fancy resin parts for more details ..  

packaging side showing the soup up parts included ..
