I can't say I agree.
See comparison between the ILM test video and the model. There is clearly a ridge in the middle at the top. The gold painted studs while not accurate are most certainly meant to be the front. In addition the gold studs are always facing forward with the other diecast...
Done
See one of my earlier photos did it with the previous diecast mark 3 which as far as I'm aware is the same.mould just with the rivets in the armour. Sizewise should be identical.
Pretty much what I did. I had a small screwdriver head I use for electronics. Pushed out both pins, corrected it and pushed the pins back in. Just becareful as if you use something sharp it could scratch the paint.
*edit* forgot to mention when putting the pins back once you get half way in...
Tbh I just threw them next to each other, I have him currently standing next to the MK4 diecast doesn't look as bad. Going to need a mark 2 update tho. Using an old plastic mark 2 unleashed, looking at little tiny now
Got mine. First thing I did was correct the sholder cannons to be the right way around. As per Justins review they were assembled incorrectly. Easy fix. I'm quite impressed with this, massive upgrade from the previous diecast version, not perfect but i'm happy to replace my old with the new.

*edit took some more with my room lights on. Also included some of the joints to answer any...

It is a bit thicker than the original but at least I can tell it's a green...
I just used a cheap unbranded body since I only wanted better arms.

I only had to use a little plumbers tape to wrap around the arms ball joint to get a firmer fit. There may be better bodies out...
My armourer arm broke when posing. Barely moved it, just shows how rubbish this body is. The arms bugged me more than anything so it forced me to part out the arm. Posing is much easier and improved. Plus don't have to worry about replacing the entire body. Annoying it broke but kinda glad it...
