**Out of box build with minimal additional steps done beyond panel lining.** Easily one of my favorite kits to come out of Zeta. Lean but still a rather chunky suit. Just a super duper simple but awesome kit.

Yes, this is an old kit. But it was released after the MG Ver. 2.0 kits of both Gundam MK-II and Zeta Gundam. My biggest complaint is the extremely poor lower body articulation, which results from the use of ball-socket joints for the hip joints and the fact that the upper and lower thigh sections are not separated (there appears to be parts separation from the outside but it is juts a visual trick; the legs cannot rotate freely due to this). When it was released, it should have already been possible to design in a different way. Another bomber is the lack of slots on the beam sabers that fit the palm tabs. The sabers cannot be secured, and the tab to secure the rifle would interfere with the saber, making saber holding a nightmare. These two problems made it extremely frustrating to handle and pose this model. The only strength is its low price: you can get worse kits at a similar or higher price, such as HGUC Zaku III, or some pre-21st century MG kits.
