REVIEW: 1/144 Black Knight (BT) Weissritter

Good Day to the readers! This is my first blog post for a model kit review.

First of all, I have been building bootleg/knockoff kits for the past 2 years and a thought just crossed my mind "Why don't I make a kit Review?". And thus this post happened.

I built this kit in a span of days not because I work slow but rather there is work at our shop.

Here is an unboxed sample of the kit. When I bought the kit the box was really old and it is ready fall apart at the moment. It was the last one at the store and the vendor even gave me a discount because of the wrecked packaging. They let me check it. All of the parts were there so it's okay.

This particular runner has been printed upside down. I don't know if that was in the original Kotobukiya kit or rather an error in reprinting. Or it was just intended.

Done with the Shoulder Pads. I'm not quite familiar with the layered design so I find this quite new.

I did a bad job with the limbs. Some of the seams were partly open. The kit is also reliant to locking parts or those parts that keep two sides of a main part from being seperate. I was quite thankful to that.

This is the head and torso part. If you look at it directly to the front, you can't see the eyes. Let's turn it to the side.

There. You can see the eyes from this angle. The detail was actually pre-painted. The head was slightly shaped like a dragon from my view.

This is the finished build with the backpack wings and launcher weapon.

Extra parts and close-up of extra parts. The hand used for the launcher and the hand used for the beam saber only appear on the right hand. Both said weapons cannot be held at the same time. For a fair trade, the chunky left arm is already a weapon.

One foot balance check.

Size comparison with a Bandai 1/144 HG Gundam GP01. Although the same scale, Weissritter is slightly bigger than a Gundam.

An Extra shot for a pose.

This concludes my Review for 1/144 Weissritter. I did have some problems when posing the kit to a new position such as the arm detaches when pulled slightly or the backpack comes off when pressure is applied to a certain spot of the part. Overall the kit looks quite heavier than a normal kit and the balance will have to work depending on the position of the pose since the arms are assymetrical. As you can see there are no decals in this model kit. It saves the work for positioning and detailing the kit with stickers.

That's it until my next post/review :D
