Model Club Class A Ver.00 -

The CLASS A project began in 2018 within a small, clandestine division of MODEL CLUB, a company previously known for high-quality aftermarket detail-up parts.

The MODEL CLUB CLASS A ver.00 requires a specific toolset and mentality:

The "Ver.00" Quirk: The transformation mechanism is contradictory. In ver.01, MODEL CLUB added 0.5mm of clearance to the hip joints. In ver.00, the hips are too tight. You will need to sand the rotating joint for roughly three hours before attempting transformation. Failure to do so will result in the leg shearing off at the swivel.
