MG Force Impulse Part 1

My Megatron is still 80% done in its phase 3... Meanwhile I decided to assemble this Gunpla.

MG Force Impulse Gundam


First I'd like to show all the runners involved in constructing this MG.

Runners A-G


The rest of them


Now I've got the runners out of the way, I can start assembling the gunpla. One thing about this gundam is that it's not one piece robot like most other gundams. It's constructed from 3 different parts for its main body, which is:
1. Core Splendor (where the pilot is)
2. Chest Flyer (upper torso)
3. Leg Flyer (Leg...what else? ^^)

The Gundam name is basically just Impulse gundam.. the name 'Force' signifies the current mode the gundam is in. There are 3 different modes which are, Force Impulse, Sword Impulse & Blast Impulse, each with its own specialty. For Force Impulse, its specialty is mobility & balanced firepower.

I'm gonna start with core splendor in this post. Core splendor is basically where the cockpit is. Shaped like a small jet, it will transform somewhat to fit in the waist of the Gundam during the combination to be Impulse gundam.

Here's the parts needed to construct the Core Splendor.



And here it is completed.


The Core Splendor is quite small. So, it required some paintings to get the color scheme right. like the blue on the wings, the little red part on the front vents, the grey on the nose & missile & and the yellow part on the tail(i dunno if this is what's it called).
