This is my first SD Gundam kit and I really enjoyed it.  The colours of the paint didn’t come out exactly as intended, but I’m not unhappy as the end result looks great.There’s a fair bit of masking to do on the kit, but it went smoothly enough, and adding those painted details really helps the kit.  The red effects parts are great, and the gold details real add to look. What was so nice about this kit is how quickly and easily you could put it together, especially with how it uses Bandai’s nice “nub-less” runner technology. Of course, an over-reliance on stickers isn’t fun, but the detail is clear enough that the masking wasn’t hard.
