Got this thinking it was an HG kit, and opaque (Amazon seller had an incorrect listing.) Turns out it’s not HG. Reminds me of the couple of no grades I’ve got.

Overall cool, and only one unused piece, but hard to keep the legs on. The translucent plastic feels pretty brittle and the stress/sanding marks are seemingly impossible to get out.

If I knew more about the specifics of this kit before buying, I probably wouldn’t have. But I did, I built it, and Domon spent long enough for his brother. No need keeping them apart now!

    I was honestly surprised when I received it and first opened the box, I remember seeing it as one the PB kits being promoted for the last Gundam base tour. I certainly wouldn’t say I regret buying it. It just is what it is. It’s still notably better than my no grade Zollidia.

    I have a variety of sanding sticks, strips, paper, and the glass files (love them!) Even the glass files couldn’t do much, the stress marks went deep into the plastic and many were there before cutting a single gate. The best patches I could get required using the glass file, a 3500, and then a 12000 grit sanding sponge.
