I'm on vacation at the in-laws' place during Golden Week, and my sister-in-law surprised me. She'd bought both of these kits and she asked me to help her build them. I hadn't planned on doing any model building on this vacation, but it looks like I'll be working on these after all! She's never built a model before, and fortunately for her, Bandai knows how to make model-making an accessible hobby for people like her.

Pics of the runners are here:
