Kotobukiya Frame Arms 1/100 NSG-12 Kobold English Manual & Color Guide

Released last year by Kotobukiya for their Frame Arms line of 1/100 scale original model kits was the NSG-12 Kobold. You might think that the Kobold looks lame but together with another Frame Arms kit, the Strauss, it can be recombined to build the awesome looking NSG-04 Weisheit.
