Worked on one of these over the weekend. Not quite complete yet.
Still have the cloak and the beam scythe left. Over all impression on this kit is that it is an okay kit. I mean it looks nice and all. It could be better. First negative, the clear sticker seals, I would have preferred water slide decals cause clear sticker are a pain to work with and has the tendency to peel if it isn't on a flat surface. Second negative, this one has way too many numb marks. I mean, they have the ability to under gate a lot of these parts but instead, they really want you to work on it by having to sand it down and repainting it. Third negative, this one is small, for a 1/100 scale not counting the Cloak, this is a small Gundam. I guess I am use to the bigger sized Unicorn series. I mean my k'shatriya @ 1/144 is bigger, not to mention the last kit that I did prior to this one, the HG Rezel type C is pretty much on par in term of the size.
But overall I am happy with the way this one looks. It an easier build, in comparison to the RG stuff. But for a MG i wished it had a better out of box build. I mean the RG RX 78-2 looked amazing out of box without the need to paint or much panel lining.
I like to add that the HG Delta Gold version is probably one of the best out of box builds with minimal numb marks with most of the outer armors using the under gated technology. Cutting the part off the gates then removing the excess on the underside of the piece so that the top shiny part remains unscratched is the way to do things Bandai.
