| 這個 Fliege 模型第一次是由日東(Nitto)在八十年代中期以 SF3D 的名字推出，據我所知，因為 Hobby Japan 擁有這個名字的版權, 所以橫山宏在九十年代末只好以 Maschinen Krieger ZbV 3000 (簡稱 Ma K.) 的名字與日東再推出這個系列的模型。(Wave 廠亦有參與。)雖然這個系列的機械設計有時看起來像二次大戰時期，但故事背景卻是在廿九世紀！ | This Fliege model kit was first released by Nitto under a series name of SF3D in mid-80's. I was told that Hobby Japan is having the copyright of this name, thus Kow Yokoyama re-released the model kit along with Nitto in late 90's under a new name Maschinen Krieger ZbV 3000, or simply Ma K. Although the mecha design of this series sometimes looks like something from WWII, the story is set in the 29th century, even much further than the Star Trek universe! |

| 這個模型其實是我的老相好，因為我在八十年代時已經製作過一次，但那個模型已經失落在時間洪流之中。因此當它在九十年代末期再推出的時侯，我立刻買下它。在重溫舊夢之餘這次我們也重溫舊價，一別十多年但這模型還是賣¥1500！可惜這模型現已斷市，現在也許只能在 ebay 買得到。雖隔二十年的光景，但這仍然是一個有趣的模型製作。不過二十年前的模型畢竟出現老態，例如四肢的關節以現在的眼光看就略嫌不足了。 | I would say that this model is an old friend of mine because I built the same model back in the 80's. That model was lost in time though. This is why I was glad to be able to buy one when it was re-released in the late 90's. On top of that, the re-released model has the same price as the one a decade ago. Unfortunately it is no longer available now, nowadays one might only find one from ebay. So after 20 years, it is still an interesting model to build although some engineering designs have become out-of-date. For example, the joints of the limbs really show their age. |

| 這盒模型附有一個人物模型，大家可以選擇製成一個完整的人像或把上半身放入 Fliege 裡面，但卻不能兩者兼得。眾所周知 SF3D 系列內的人像雕刻精緻，換句話說如果把它收進 Fliege 的艙內就有點暴殄天物。因此我借用了一個萬代 MG 模型系列中時有附屬的 1:20 人像放入 Fliege 內。我這次選擇的是 Gaia ，一個 MG 黑色三連星渣古模型的附屬人像。 | The model comes with one figure, one can choose building the full figure or put the top half inside the Fliege. It is well known that the figures from SF3D series are well-sculpted. In other words, it is a real shame to put it inside the Fliege and close the hatch. Thus I took a 1:20 figure from Bandai's MG model series and put it inside the Fliege. The figure I chose was Gaia from MG Zaku I. |

| 不久之前我見有朋友使用塑膠彩去油軍事模型的人像，於是乎我就趁這次的製作去嘗試一下這種顏料。我的第一次油這個人頭可謂一敗塗地(見下面第一幅圖)，因為我沒有稀釋這種顏料就直接使用，令到表面異常粗糙。另外我亦沒有噴灰就上色，在底色不平衡下自然要使用更濃的顏色。在洗掉這層顏色後，第二次的嘗試就大見好轉，可見於下面的第二幅圖。但其實自己還未掌握到這種顏料媒體的皮毛，因為人像的身軀我也曾嘗試使用這顏料，但最後失敗之餘還要用噴筆去補救！ | Not long ago I read something about using artists' acrylic colour to paint 1:35 military figures. Thus this model became my test bed for this medium. My first attempt failed miserably because I did not thin the colour at all and did not prime the surface. As a result the paint surface was very coarse as shown in the first photo below. I improved the skill a little bit in my second attempt after washed off the colour but I have not got a grip of this medium yet. In fact I used acrylic paint for the body of the figure as well but it looked so bad that I picked up my airbrush to finish the job! |

| 大概因為我把這模型擱得太久的關係，一些關節套最終遺失了。結果我複製了一段實芯關節, 用在足踝上，令到這關節不能移動半分。另外肘關節也不是風平浪靜的。由於關節套根本不能放入上臂中，我唯有切開它令它縮小一點才能放入上臂之中。 | Probably because I waited too long to finish this model, somehow I lost some of the rubber covers for the joint. As a result, I made a robber mould, from which I made a resin solid joint segment and installed it as ankle joint. Thus the ankles of this model cannot move at all. The elbow joints are another problematic parts. The supplied rubber joint covers simply do not fit into the upper arms. So I cut open the covers longitudinally to make them fit into the upper arms. |

| 另外右手的五根手指需要用幼鐵線重造。最後因為右臂內的軟膠關節環太大，這一節塑膠右臂已經承受著不少壓力。當右手放入右臂後，壓力更加上升。在這情況之下, 塑料在接觸琺瑯漆稀釋劑後會容易爆裂。因此我需要使用塗裝去掩藏這條裂縫。 | The five fingers on the right hand are re-made using copper wire. Finally since the pcv ring inside the lower right arm is too big, it exerted a great force on the plastic arm. When the right hand was put on the right arm, the pressure was built up even more. Under this circumstance, plastic cracks when enamel paint thinner is used. Therefore a little bit of paint work was needed to hide the crack. |
