Looks like you need the MG Gouf Custom.

Thnaks EZ!!!!

Anyone got one for sale?!!!

[FichtenFoo]

I have an MG Gouf Custom... one of my old kits. It's complete and in parts. It *was* painted with Tamiya, but has since been stripped so just needs some clean-up of the nubs (my third MG kit, no sanding or gluing at all!) If someone wants it for this, make me an offer.

Would you take $30.00 shipped?

That Efreet conversion is looking wicked, very savage. I like it! I was also wondering if there are any updates on the sentinel GM-III plastic conversion kit. I'm really looking forward to that one. Thanks.

I know many of you has been wondering the progress of this GM III kit. Basically we are just waiting for our partner from Japan to give us the fund we need to start with the production. however the the investment has been delayed since last July. The project is definitely in. although we have no full info but we suspect the partner was financially hit bady last year.
we will keep you all posted.

[AkoHobby]

yes. the kit will come with metal parts for the spikes, power cable, thrusters, shot gun, mono eye. Gouf custom is the based kit BUT if you don't mind mod on the forearm, Gouf 1.0 is ok as well.

Hey Ako,

Is the Efreet going to include the metal pieces in the WIP Pics? (spikes and power cables how about thrusters)  Also is it based off of the Gouf 2.0?

Thanks
Matt

you can drop your pre-order to sales@akocreation.com and settled pre-order payment by May 7th.

Here I would like to thank Albert from G-Option for his all time support in the past. With the end of the Blue Destiny project he is now offically off from AkoHobby team. His last plastic kit project the sentinel GM III is also now confirmed for Oct-Nov release as we got the funding from Japan today!!

[mvm3897]

Any discount if we order both?  Also wasn't there a discount if we got the BD conversions?


These look so cool I am definitely getting the Efreet Conversion.  Great job AKO.

[AkoHobby]

if you have purchased the full BD kits, you have $15 cash point to be used on the Efreet kit purchase.

[Toefu]

The Efreet looks great. I'll be placing my preorder today! I am really looking forward to the GM III though! 

Thank you AKO, superb work as always!

[shenphong]

yes. the kit will come with metal parts for the spikes, power cable, thrusters, shot gun, mono eye. Gouf custom is the based kit BUT if you don't mind mod on the forearm, Gouf 1.0 is ok as well.

I have several gouf 1.0 kits.  Can you give a bit more details into what will be needed to make it work with the gouf 1.0?  Purchased 6 BD kits so definitely interested in purchasing 2 of these Efreet kits.

[AkoHobby]

the main areas that need some mod will be the forearms and the need joints. you can check out the difference first and there you figure if you think you can handle the mod.

the efreet standard type is nearly ready...

Paint-work is looking great!

Paint-work is looking great!

AGreed.  I think AKO should post some tutorials so that we my learn his magical ways.  He does the best decals and panel lines that I have seen.

[FichtenFoo]

I recall he did do one. He did the panel lines first, after priming and before paint on a zaku.

[shenphong]

Kit looks great, both versions!  I've sent in my request for both kits, picked up 2 complete sets of blue destiny conversions and can't wait to pick this up.

[AkoHobby]

Dear all,

Attention those who have pre-ordered the Efreet and Efreet Custom kits. We are about to proceed shipment in these few days. Unfortunately the decal will need to be shipped later as there are defects on the decal which we are now asking the supplier to replace for us. The replacement decal will come in around June 26th. Our apology!

AKO - outstanding job with the Efreet.  Both conversions are perfect! Great fit, awesome casting, thank you for a job well done!   

[AkoHobby]

I believe everyone should have received the kits by now. Hope you all find the quality worth the price. Now all the decals were sent as well. so check you paypay notification for tracking number.

[mvm3897]

Great job on the Efreet.   The fit is perfect and the casting is top notch as usual.   One suggestion,  on the instructions for the legs it is necessary to cut off the molded piston on the front of the leg.  It is not indicated on the instruction that you have to do that.  Just took me a while to figure it out.  other wise perfect.  Oh, and mine was missing the horn but I guess I can get one from anther MG kit.
