This was a kit that I bought used, knowing I would get the bricks and instructions. However, due to their age and used nature, the white bricks are a bit discolored. The slight yellowing of the white bricks can be seen in some of the photos.
This kit is unusual for an NBC kit compared to the other kits I have purchased. The instructions are completely in Japanese. For most other kits I have bought, the colors are at least in English. I think that this could be one of the original kits from one of the early production runs.
I know some Japanese from school, and there is a photo on the package, so I worked to build the kit and was able to match the colors to be able to build the Cockatiel.
The build begins with a base layer of white bricks. I built the layers using my nanoblock pad. The main body of the bird is white.
The body narrows to create a head. At this point, the head changes to yellow with additional colors to create details.
At this point, the build is flipped upside down, and the legs and feet are added to finish the build. The Cockatiel came with a 10×10 display stand that holds the finished bird.
Things I liked:
- It was a nice, simple build, and a cute little bird model was created. There is also a nice amount of detail, considering how low of an NBC number it has.
Things I didn’t like:
- Reading the Japanese was a bit hard, but again, I think it’s because I got such an early production run kit
