What would the base kit for the Blue Destiny be?
Sorry for late as we were tied up with some internal changes. you will need either the ground Gundam or ground GM for the base.

coming soon in end July. PE set#1 for gunpla detail up.
News From AkoHobby
This PE is to replace rthe metal transfer that sold out a while ago. In the past we receive comment that the transfer is too shiny and that the glue isn't strong enough on semi-gloss or matt surface. Therefore we figured to change to PE and give more thickness and sharpness to the parts.

there are 2 different things if you check out the photos :). Those are for different purpose.
It is not related to the 0.5mm set but the production cost that make the price difference.
I think maybe the photo's on your site aren't matching the photo's on the forum? That could explain the confusion?

If it's not a full kit(no clue) it looks like it uses the regular MG Ground Gundam frame.

Sorry guys. I should have mentioned this is a conversion kit based on MG ground type gundam from the 08th MS Team. You can drop your pre-order request to
sales@akocreation.com
with your FFForum login ID.
thanks!
Ken

Any chance of seeing an Ez8 conversion similar to this?
I would love to see your interpretation of it!

That's part of the project. You will see the EZ-8 for sure by end of this year. It's half way done.

Ground gundam looks awesome. I have the plastic barzam conversion for the MG MK-II and its pretty nice, sharp detail, no warped parts, decent separation. It even comes with Waterslides. Ive also ordered metal option parts from these guy with no problems. I would definitely order from them again.
