I haven't seen this one, but the May issue of Dangeki Hobby Magazine (that replaced B-Club) has pictures of the new pre-painted desktop models of the Hyperion and Brunhilde. They have either a pewter finish, or their original colors with some weathering added. They are not as detailed as the 1/5000 ALBA kits, but at about the same 4800 Yen price, it's already finished and is probably less fragile. Hobbylink Japan has them available for order, but are not due out for a month or two. A couple of weeks ago I received the new 1/2500 Brunhilde, and it is AMAZING! It'll be easier to put together than the smaller one, because the castings are perfect! It's a little pricey though, at 21000 Yen, so I don't have enough confidence to build it up right yet.
