Review DianChang Studio MG 1/100 Gundam Barbatos Alloy Innerframe Upgrade Kit
DianChang Studio MG 1/100 Gundam Barbatos Alloy Innerframe Upgrade Kit is a bootleg replacement part made by DianChang Studio which was specially released to replace the Innerframe part of MG 1/100 Gundam Barbatos Bandai. This part has just been released one year after the release of MG Gundam Barbatos.
In the packaging, DianChang Studio only includes an Inner-frame upgrade with iron material, except for 10 pieces of joint items made of POM (Polyoxymethylene).

DianChang Studio provides 2 types of leg joins, one of which has the same shape as the release of MG Barbatos Gundam Bandai which is Peg Backle but with a fuller circle than Bandai. Other joins use the spherical join that was released along with other parts to replace other parts.
The combination between Metal Part and also POM Part in Join is very good so there is no need to worry about loose problems easily. With the addition of this metal part, the MG 1/100 Gundam Barbatos is sturdier than the original.
This part upgrade also adds to the weight of the MG 1/100 Gundam Barbatos, although not so significant because there are only a few metal parts.
The problem that occurs when using the DianChang Studio Alloy Innerframe Upgrade Kit is that it takes a lot of energy to force the alloy parts to be completely integrated. There are still problems caused by the alloy parts, Peg Male metal parts DianChang is advised to give a thin tissue bandage before connecting to the female join, because it often does not glue well. In the female join part which is made of alloy, it also takes force to connect the male armor part that is on the side of her knee.
Even for details, there are some production residues which were then forced to be overlaid with silver chrome paint which in my opinion is quite disturbing in my view.
Broadly speaking, DianChang Studio Upgrade Kit offers replacement parts to make MG Gundam Barbatos even stronger, but unfortunately, not all parts of the MG Gundam Barbatos inner-frame are changed to metal, only a few parts. In addition, it takes several techniques and forced ways to build it.
