Zoids Gun Sniper RZ-030LS
This is Kotobukiya's Gun Sniper Leena Special kit from 2013. In the Zoids: New Century anime, Leena Toros is a trigger-happy member of the Blitz Team, and after her previous Zoid was damaged beyond repair her father purchased a Gun Sniper, which was then suitably modified. A Wild Weasel Unit, two Beam Gatling units, two triple launcher units, and a quartet of missile pods were added to the standard armaments, and high-capacity stabilizers and reinforced parts were also added in various areas.
The paint scheme recommended by the instructions is not very accurate to the anime, but it is visually interesting. Colors used include black, yellow, gloss green, tan, duck egg blue, dark blue, light gray, steel and silver. I also used Sakura Pigma pens to outline the panels.
The missile pods on the thrusters, shoulders and upper legs can be opened or closed, and the box launchers have optional panels to display them open or closed. The weapons and sensors can be independently positioned, and all can be removed. A basket full of spare weapons, as seen in one episode, is also included.
