When building a Gundam kit, the heads are usually small enough that you don’t get too much detail, and the parts are often fiddly. With this kit you get to concentrate on just the head, and to make it look great on display, you get enough of the surrounding pieces to really set it off!The LED illumination works well, and with such an easily accessible the switch is, you’re not going to worry about knocking it off your shelf to have it switched on.
From the side, you really get to appreciate the details. I really like the contrast between the red and blue sections with the white armour.
Even the eyes have details on them.
I’m pleased I went with the pearl finish on the armour because it allows the white sections on the base to stand out with the added contrast.
And the grey decals blend in wonderfully with the pearl finish.
Perhaps one of the nicest touches on the kit are how the sides of the head open up to show you the inner details.
It was a pretty tricky build in places, but I guess that’s what we’ve come to expect for a non-Bandai kit. It wasn’t the stressful experience big Kashatryia was, but it’s still quite expensive for what you get.
Pro!
Well at least that’s what it looks like to a non-painter like me. The kit looks pretty amazing, as you say you wouldn’t normally get to see all this detail on a smaller gunpla. Colours are really bright, the decals look good and love the LEDs.
I can spot a few gate marks though, sorry. 🙁
