For background information on the main figure, please see the review I wrote titled “Bandai Rosan Swordman”.

This set, like the Swordman kit, is part of the ’30 Minute Fantasy’ series. There are various Class Up Armor sets available for the different figures throughout the series.

The Kit

Included in the box are three trees: one is bright blue and the other two are silver. The silver trees are mostly duplicate parts from the man Swordman kit 5072036.

The assembly process guides you through a series of steps where you essentially take apart the Rosan silhouette figure. This means removing the head, the arms, and the legs.

As with all Bandai kits, careful study of the instructions in advance is very important because, depending on certain poses or accouterment features selected, you will need to vary the assembly.

I chose to prime all of my blue parts with Tamiya Extra Fine primer and then I airbrushed it with Vallejo Mecha Color ‘Fluorescent Blue’. To protect the paint, I then sprayed it with a semi-gloss clear from a Tamiya spray can.

Overall, I have discovered that these Class Up kits turn a Bandai figure into a really cool-looking guy! I loved the look of it. I normally build armor, planes and U-boats but these Bandai kits are really a lot of fun. I highly recommend!
