My Love For Life Review

I am going to go through the box art, manual and the runners for the TT Hongli HG Blaze Zaku Phantom (Dearka Elsman)in this post.

The front box art.


The left side box art.

The right side box art which is similar to the left side.

The bottom side box art with a mixture of Chinese and Engrish.

The top side box art featuring photos of the actual completed model kit.

Front page of the assembly manual leaflet. The same box art used on the front box cover can be seen here with some descriptions added at the bottom (written in Chinese and Engrish)

First page of the assembly manual leaflet. This full color page details the various parts and mechanisms on the completed Blaze Zaku Phantom model kit. The lower part of the page focuses on the backpack and its gimmicks.

Second page of the assembly manual leaflet which highlights the color guide for the model kit for those who wish to do additional painting and detailing.

Third page of the assembly manual leaflet that shows all the runners which make up the model kit together with some general assembly symbologies and precautions.

Fourth page of the assembly manual leaflet. This page shows the actual assembly steps for the chest, head, side shield armor, beam rifle and parts of the arm.

Fifth page of the assembly manual leaflet which highlights the assembly steps for the legs mostly.

Sixth page of the assembly manual leaflet. This page shows how to put all the various parts together sans the backpack. The assembly of the backpack is covered at the lower half of the page.

Last page of the assembly manual leaflet which continues the assembly steps for the backpack and shows how to attach it to the Blaze Zaku Phantom.

The poly caps runners containing joint parts which enable movement of the model kit.

Runner containing parts for the feet, hands, head, chest and weapons.

Foil sticker sheet.

This will be my first TT Hongli HG Gundam model kit from the Gundam Seed Destiny series. I am quite pleased with the quality of the runners in this kit especially with the extra display stand.

For the assembly process I will be preparing a special treat which will be my first foray into stop motion video. Stay tuned!
