This is the first Armored Core model that I have built. For those that is not familiar with Armored Core, it is a popular third-person shooters game, in which the player pilots a large mecha called an Armored Core, or AC for short. To date, it has spanned over 6 media/console that is the Playstation, Playstation 2, Playstation 3, PSP, Xbox 360, and mobile phone. I have not played any yet but I think I should give it a try next time. It got to be good or else it will not appear in so many consoles right? It was a refreshing experience building a Kotobukiya kit. Every inch of this kit is covered with detail and it took me quite awhile to paint all of them.
The ID for this kit is Crest CR-90U3. It was based on the ID of the core unit which was manufactured by a company called CREST Ind in the AC universe. There are actually alot of information regarding this kit in the manual but who is going to be interested with all those boring facts? Without further ado, let me present to you the Crest CR-C90U3.
