Started mid-2004 and not finished until hours before its debut at the National
Air and Space Museum on April 16, I present to you my 1/275th scale Salamis Kai.
An upgraded version of the original Salamis from the 0070s, this ship contains
an added mobile suit hangar, launch deck, and related facilities as well as
added armament. One of the most successful ships designed by the Federal
Forces, it was used from the late UC 0080s through the UC 0150s.
The model itself is a bit over a meter long and probably weighs between 20 and
30 pounds. I’d estimate between 7000 and 10,000 pieces were used to create it,
although I didn’t think to keep any sort of tally. The color scheme is not
really a match to any of the authentic versions, but somewhat of a combination
of the EFSF and AEUG color schemes. Overall, I’m quite pleased with the final
product; although I’d like to redesign the hangar deck and the main double
barreled mega particle cannons.
