I love heavy munitions delivery transforming aircraft with 4 nuke cannons strapped on its back - Aoshima VB-6 Konigsmonster

Technically not the most accurate Konigsmonster since it's somewhat redesigned so an anime cat girl can ride it like it's a motorcycle.... But fk it, the mecha itself is still a highlight. Not like the Chogokin will get reprint soon too.

I honestly don't have much complaints and it's very close to perfection by itself. It got front retractable landing skids. It got solid transformation without any parts-formation. And even when modified, it's still very close to the real thing. Only complaint is that the sole parts-formation needed is the back landing skids... which I feel like it's a missed opportunity to not make it retractable too.

Pictured is the also the mini VB-6 from Macross Frontier, and the original Destroid Monster.... It's 80s kit but this one needs lots more work that I would like to do someday. The cannon does not have anywhere to attach on the big gaping holes that is the middle of the kit which is why the middle part droop down. No amount of cements and super glue is enough. I will probably try to work on it someday with putty.
