Unknown to most people is that you can actually translate your manual by means of the Google Translate App (for IOS and Android) by taking a picture of it with the App then the translation will come out. Before when I tried it I found out that the translations for Japanese were still spotty at best. But recently I noticed that the translations have actually improved.

Bandai HG 1/144 RX-78-2 Gundam (Revive) English Manual & Color Guide
From the Revive series comes the RX-78-2 Gundam of Amuro Ray as a 1/144 High Grade model kit. Such an iconic mecha. I love how Bandai honors it by always making it the flagship model kit release of any new model kit line. But in the case of the Reborns 1/100 line it wasn't so, that honor went to the Nightingale.

Bandai HG 1/144 Dom R35 English Manual & Color Guide
From Gundam Build Fighters comes the Dom R35 of Mr. Ral (Ral-san in Japanese) released as a 1/144 High Grade model kit by Bandai. Always loved the Dom design, even the original one from the first series. What appeals to me is the unique head and bulky frame. Of course my most favorite Zeon inspired suit is the Rick Dias.

Bandai 1/12 Scout Trooper & Speeder Bike English Manual & Color Guide
Another great release from Bandai for their StarWars line is the 1/12 Scout Trooper and Speeder Bike. For sure, getting Bandai to implement their mad skills in bringing model kits to life for the StarWars product line has got to be one of the best ideas of the century. Ok, Ok, that's hyperbole but it just has to be said, Bandai's scale model kit designers are artisans. Every time they release something in the StarWars series it makes my jaw drop.

Bandai MG 1/100 Gundam Fenice Rinascita English Manual & Color Guide
Just released by Bandai was Ricardo Fellini's Gundam Fenice Rinascita from Build Fighters as a 1/100 Master Grade model kit. I'm not familiar with the Build Fighters anime series but I'm assuming that the Gundam Fenice Rinascita is a popular mecha, given the amount of traffic I'm getting for the HG version it.

Bandai RE/100 Dijeh English Manual & Color Guide
Latest release by Bandai for the 1/100 Reborn One Hundred line is the Dijeh from Zeta Gundam. In the anime series the Dijeh was piloted by Amuro Ray himself. Like I said before, I like the Reborn One Hundred line of Bandai because it hits the price sweet spot of a 1/100 scale kit for its size.
