Bandai 30MM Armoured Core VI Fires of Rubicon Balam Industries BD-011 Melander Liger Tail

Bandai 30MM Armored Core VI Fires of Rubicon Balam Industries BD-011 Melander Liger Tail

G1 Michigan's Liger Tail is one of Armored Core VI's most memorable encounters. The Melander frame with that distinctive tail unit, heavy firepower, and the kind of aggressive presence that makes you respect the pilot before the fight even starts. This 30MM kit captures Michigan's AC in full detail. The signature tail assembly, the complete weapon loadout, and the Balam Industries aesthetic that defined corporate muscle on Rubicon 3.

Assembly Guide

SKILL LEVEL REQUIRED
Skill Level.2 Basic modeling skills are required. Parental supervision may be required for younger children. These kits are generally suitable for beginner builders. A basic set of modeling tools are required including nippers, hobby knife, sanding sticks/paper, file, and tweezers. No glue is needed for the general assembly. Parts will need to be removed by using a pair of nippers and cutting the part away from the runner. Parts may require clean-up where they were removed from the runner.
No Cement Required

Gunpla (plastic model kits) are a snap together assembly and do not need plastic cement to complete. We always recommend having some plastic cement handy as a part of your modeler's tool kit. If you prefer to fix your model in a particular pose then plastic cement will work. Plastic cement is also perfect to use if a joint is loose. Apply plastic cement in a single thin layer and allow it to dry completely before test fitting. Re-apply more cement if necessary.

No Painting Required

Gunpla (plastic model kits) are designed to be built and displayed without the need for painting. Kits are molded in different colours replicating the colours of the actual mecha from the Mecha series. A technique called colour separation, where multiple parts of the model are molded in different colours on the same sprue is also used. Mecha kits often include stickers or water-slide decals that can be applied to the model to enhance its appearance. Some Gunpla kits come with pre-painted parts or parts with pre-applied details, such as metallic or translucent finishes.

Many modelers still choose to paint their kits to customize and add further detail. Painting allows for more creativity and personalization, enabling modelers to achieve unique effects, weathering, and colour schemes that may not be available out of the box. However, the kits are designed to be enjoyable and visually appealing even without painting, making them accessible to a wide range of hobbyists.

Frequently Asked Questions

I've never built a model kit before. Is the 30MM Liger Tail a good starting point?

The 30MM line is known for its user-friendly approach! The snap-fit assembly eliminates the need for glue, and clear instructions make it a good option for beginners.

Does the Liger Tail model kit come with paint, or is it pre-colored?

While some model kits require painting, the 30MM line typically features pre-colored parts. This Liger Tail should be pre-colored, but checking product details or images can confirm. Painting for further customization is always an option (paint sold separately).

The description mentions "DF-GA-08 HU-BEN" and "DF-ET-09 TAI-YANG-SHOU." Are those weapons included?

Yes, the Liger Tail model kit should include these weapons as part of its standard equipment. The description might mention additional weapons being sold separately for even more customization options.

How big is the finished Liger Tail model?

The size of the Liger Tail can vary depending on the source, but 30MM kits typically fall around the 5-6 inch range when assembled. Checking product details or reviews with size comparisons can provide a more precise idea.

Can I pose the Liger Tail in different action stances?

Absolutely! The Liger Tail boasts multiple articulation points, allowing you to recreate dynamic combat poses or design your own unique displays for your mecha masterpiece.

Everything was well packed, arrived promptly, and came with a postcard and part separator as a welcome gift. Very impressed.

Excellent service and fast delivery

I purchased on 6 Jan and my order arrived on 13 Jan. It was very well packed, with both boxes in excellent condition. Cam even provided a small free gift in the box! Overall purchasing experience was smooth and hassle-free. I haven’t had the chance to build the kit yet, but based on the service and care taken with shipping, I would happily purchase from this store if there are other Space Battleship Yamato models available.

Very rare with fair price

If you were one of the lucky ones that were able to travel to Sydney Gundam Base pop-up in 2025 and queued extremely early (like the first 40 or so) on the first day, probably you were able to grab one of these. Otherwise, the only alternative I would know of is traveling to Japan and being uber lucky of having it still being sold at Gundam bases. Otherwise, it's a second-hand market, and prices will go up. That said, the price was fair, I think it would be similar price as using a dropship service from Japan, with the exception that it's much faster and way more guaranteed you will get proper merchandise. So, Mecha Express, Cam, thank you so much for your store!
