The overall feel of the model is faithful to the original with really cool details in the green sword that has "G-Gundam" in the mold, just like in the show! It also has the core speeder as a backpack and a convincing transformation gimmick. The section under the calf armor and the forearm armor need to be painted as the default color is grey as opposed to metallic gold. The core speeder needs some touchup with white paint, but the box has a good guide for painting. The hands are a bit loose so you may need to tighten them up, and the massive shining hand doesn't fit snugly. Easily fixed with putty or other sticky stuff.

Was fun to build

Oh yeah, it's a good one.

Real cool kit, lots of panel lining opportunities. Only draw back is the shining finger effect part doesn’t stay on so I had to use glue

Great looking kit! MUCH better than the old No Grade 1/144 G Gundam kits! It would have been nice if the leg thruster covers hadn't needed color correction stickers and the thruster covers don't like to stay on while in the open position, but if you're careful/patient you can get them to stay on in the open position. Also, the forehead camera and rear camera stickers are really tiny and can be difficult to place so again, careful patience is helpful. Could use some gold paint if you want to make it look really good!
