Cup Noodle 1/1 scale

This maybe the dumbest kit I've ever had the pleasure of buying and building. Despite how dumb it is. I really like it!

Some of the photos below, include the model and the real thing for comparison.

Yes, silly, but I think it is pretty cool.  Where did you pick up this kit?

I got the kit at a local hobby store. Hub Hobby, in the St. Paul, MN suburb of Little Canada. At the time they had several copies. The clerk I purchased it from indicated that the kit was selling fairly well. That I wasn't the only fool willing to part with their money for this silly kit.

I think I’ll just get a real one for a buck!

Then your missing the point. This kit is not practical or even logical. It's just weird and fun.

Heck yeah! 

1:1 scale cup ramen.

Now you need a pilot helmet to put on it while it "cooks". (Area 88 joke... maybe nobody will get it...)

I'd buy two if they weren't the same price as a good-sized HGUC Gundam. However, they are, and I can't bring myself to pull the trigger. Still, epic review of an epic kit. I can hardly wait to see what they come out with next.

Really neat!

I've seen this one built up a few times and it definitely makes for a good conversation piece. Neat build.
