Got myself this to test the tools I had at hand and get to grips with the assembly of one of these things.
Got an RG Nu Gundam in the wing waiting to benefit from all the stuff I learned making this little guy.
Gotta say, I’m in a weird place with this model. One one hand I’m blown away by the complexity of the parts and the logic of it all. On the other hand, the lack of an internal frame means a lot of stuff is hanging off one tiny peg and things drop off this dude at the slightest provocation.
I will always recommend the MGSD kits for people. They are fantastic builds and highly articulated. As far as regular MG kits, some of the ones I’ve enjoyed are Freedom 2.0, Jesta, Dynames, Aile Strike, and Barbatos. There’s also the FM (Full Mechanics) Aerial. She’s a simpler build than most MG kits, but still very detailed and a good experience.
