After three weeks, this Sazabi is finally done. Its defects I've mention before, so I won't repeat it here. Several advices I would offer is top coat is not encourage here. Even if its a glossy one, it will somehow darken the model (unless you don't want the flashy metallic red colour) which totally beat the purpose of the metalic red. The water decals are superb. Thats without doubts and the joins and all are pretty stable.
Sazabi appeared as a prototype mobile suit for New Type in Char's Counterattack, which of course, from the colour of it its obvious the pilot is Char Aznable himself. Sazabi is the first model suit equiped with the "Psycho Frame" which only a New Type can handle its power.
In case you wanna know whats a New Type, its basically human who live in space. The story of Gundam basically starts when people migrated and form a new colony in space, The Principality of Zeon. They who live in space are not affected by gravity. By this, they may exert the usage of their brain power to a level much higher than normal human. This make them smarter, stronger and is able to react much quicker than normal human beings. So yeah, basically is like that
So, the Psycho Frame acts like a turbo mode (almost similar to Zero Booster from Gundam Wing and Trans Arm of Gundam 00)
Char Aznable helped the Earth Fed Space Force (EFSF) by leaking information of Sazabi's blue print. With that, EFSF could build Nuu Gundam which uses the same type of Psycho Frame and Funnel System like Sazabi. Nuu Gundam is piloted by ace pilot Amuro Ray.
Well, maybe due to skill problem, Char lost in the end. Sad Sad. It also mark the end of Sazabi which is short lived. Ah, another special part of Sazabi is that the cockpit is situated in the head rather than the body like all other suits used to have
In the manga, Sazabi is called Nightingale instead which is black in colour and a little more roundish
