Information:
Made as a special pre-order bonus for BioHazard 0 on the Gamecube, this model kit is a 1/12 scale model of the Cerberus BOW seen throughout the game and series as a whole. The model comes unpainted on black injection cast sprues, featuring a base and 10 pieces to make the entire kit. Given the title this kit has I do wonder if Capcom did have plans to make other BOW as scale kits—it's an absolute shame they never did anything beyond the Cerberus in my opinion.

I have two copies of this kit, one left unpainted and still on its sprues, and one kit that I put together. I often build HMM Zoids and other kits, with a lot of customisation on them as well, so this was a very cruisy tiny kit to work on. Despite having alignment pegs it is a kit that benefits from being glued into place as the legs don't sit as tight and flush as you might expect. I do wish I'd taken time to work on filling the seam lines with epoxy but those are skills with kits I've only more recently acquired in the last couple of years. Despite that I'm still pretty happy with the final painted result I did.

I based my Cerberus on a pinscher doberman, and enjoyed layering a lot of fun shellac paints into the gory open wounds to get a very slick looking finish. The kit was sealed with Mr. Super Clear, and the gore/mouth/eyes all given a glossy seal to stand out against the matte fur.
