Bankee Nationals Gundam Model Kit Contest 2011 @SM Megamall

Bankee, the Philippines' official distributor for Bandai/Gundam products, is holding one of the most anticipated Gunpla events of the year, the Gundam Model Kit Contest 2011.

Some of the entries on display.

In celebration of Gundam 00 and SD Gundam Brave Battle Warriors (both currently showing on Cartoon Network), this year's theme is based on the two said titles. Gunpla fans of all ages swarmed SM Megamall from July 15-17 to sumbit, view and photograph the entries.
