I saw this kit available and was curious about mechanicore kits. Was there any other fittment issues or anything else that was loose? I love the GP01 design, and since the PG is hard to find and no news of a MG 2.0. It looks like this may be the one to potentially pick up.
This was a really well done video, it sucks that nobody else covers the issues but its understandable considering the workload. Good job! How would you compare the difficulty to past mechanicore kits/rodam and do you still need to use super glue for it? Hopefully you make another video like this for mechanicore firehawk if you plan on getting it (also my bad for posting this comment on the wrong video 😅)
I used very little glued on this kit actually. About 1/3 amount for the similar kit. I did pre-order the Firehawk. Looking forward to it too :) thanks for your comments
@@donnietd good to know! Hopefully they improve enough to make their kits snap build but it definitely won't be when firehawk releases. Do you think you'll cover the topic on LEDs and the difficulty of it since that was one of the main appeals for me with firehawk
@@epistarter1136 Mechanicore has been around over 10 years ago, snapfit problem is their specialty :)) You'll need to work on their issues to complete the built, that's what makes Mechanicore & other 3rd parties brands different from Bandai. I just love the time spending fixing the issues. It took me about a week, 4-5 hours/day to finish this kit. I'm sure when the firehawk comes out I'll make a video for it and all the issues from it as well. thanks
@@donnietd I wish I loved spending time fixing issues too lol. Crazy that you finished it in a week but it makes firehawk feel less daunting as a somewhat beginner builder. Do you use electric tools or just a lot of sanding paper and metal files? Hopefully I can just use one superglue because they're a bit expensive 😂 Edit: also how'd you go that fast to build it
It is not impossible but maybe a bit too complicated because those parts that content the LEDs are seperated, you need to connect them all together and therefore you need to keep the kit in a specific form. I'm not good at leds & wires, not so sure about it :))

Looks awesome. I too was not impressed with the promote photos but it's really different after putting it all together. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks. I'm glad it's turned out this good.

All are tight, nothing loose, you just need minor adjustment, trimming... for smooth movement.

@@donnietdalso how long did this one take to build?

Hi, do you think , is it possible to change all lights with a 5V power bank?
It is not impossible but maybe a bit too complicated because those parts that content the LEDs are seperated, you need to connect them all together and therefore you need to keep the kit in a specific form. I'm not good at leds & wires, not so sure about it :))
@@donnietd Thanks for the answers, may I know how many light bulbs , 12 bulbs on the back ? 3 in the head?
