Hey Jamie, the arms are actually pretty highly posable. the sholder rotation is the best and it is strong. The elbow needs a little saran wrap on the end of the anntena ball to make it nice and stiff, but now it can hold those huge guns! As for (...)

Thank you David! I made the upper arms short and made the forearms elongated as sort of my homage to the Bubblegum Crisis suits.

Gotta love your new stuff. The heavy fighter is my favorite, the detail is really amazing. I think it would be best classified as a corvette or patrol boat though. Please build more models like this! Take care, Soren (22 years ago, 12-Jan-03, to lugnet.space)
