New SRW Model Kit Release: Art-1
 

It's like R-1, but fancier. It'll still be a partsformer, but at this scale that's probably for the best to maintain some semblance of stability.

Plus it has chainsaw tonfas! Awesome!

Looks good.

ART-1 should be a sight better designed than the R-1, at least hopefully. The R1 was a bit rough around the edges, being one of Kotobukiya's earlier SRW model kits.

I hope they have some sort of inset plastic to do the white trim on the shield and such. I mean, Kotobukiya usually does for that kind of stuff, but they occasionally cheap out on the strangest things and leave them as solid colors.
