HGBD: R 1/144 Uraven Gundam

It’s a great gundam

I'm going to be real here with y'all. I love the design of the Core Gundam 2 and the design of the Uranus armor. I must say there are some minor faults with the CG2 joints in some area's, mainly the shoulder ball sockets and the area to connect the armored legs into. But those are just minor errors that can be fixed rather easily. Other than that I can safely say that this a nice-looking kit.

A unique take on the typical sniper system that we usually see from gundam. A very welcome change of pace.

The kit is really great, good articulation and fun to build. Very stable as well

You will read about the awesome accessories, articulation, and innovation of this kit. These are all true, I can gush about how fun the funnels/bits and weapons, but I want to focus on the couple of outstanding issues that the kit does have. As with all the core gundams, you will need to put a dot of glue or some thin cement in the ankle joint in order to prevent the leg armor from wiggling. Also, you should file the side of the prongs that attach the point of the shield to the base, this connection is very tight and snapped very early on in my posing of the kit. Otherwise, as with most of the hands with these kits, you should use very small dots of glue on the inside face of the hands in order to get a good grip on the weapons/shield. All in all, this is an outstanding kits to add to you HG collection that only requires a few simple/easy touch ups to be top notch.
