Another kit worth the mention is definitely the 'Armored Core Mirage C01-GAEA' by Kotobukiya.
Tagged at a retail price of 2800Yen, which is about the price of a NG 1/100 Gundam Seed kit.
I would estimate it to be S$59.95.
I saw it at Hobby Point before and recently at Miniature Hobby (having 20% OFF permanently).
Miniature is selling at S$59.90 before discount.
I initally thought that the Mirage is one of the many models from the Armored Core game, but I was wrong. Kotobukiya released only one model and this is the one. The rest are add-on weapons for this unit. A brief history. Armored Core was a video game set way back on the Super Nintendo platform, it later progressed onto PSX and PS2. The gameplay of the armored core is similar to that of Squaresoft's 'Front Mission' or PC game 'MechWarrior'.
Let us now embrace its beauty.

Examination of the tree. The tree shows that the product doesn't come with a colored-chrome finish.
Color Schematics. This is how you should go about the painting. Not a simple task.
