1/9 Iron Rescue Mark 49

The panel line detail on the chest and shoulders is way sharper than I expected at this scale, and the armor plates fit together with barely any seam cleanup. Took me about three evenings to finish, but it was the most relaxing build I've done in months.

I've built a few 1/9 scale kits before, and the joint articulation on this Rescue armor is genuinely better than I expected for the price. The shoulder pads stay posed without drooping, which is rare on kits this size.

Snapping the shoulder plates together took a bit of patience, but the articulation on this Mark 49 is fantastic once built. The red finish looks great on the shelf next to my other 1/9 kits.
