Overall it is a pretty simple build, and with quite a bit of painting you can make it presentable to say the least and being a kit from 2003. The only downside I had while painting the kit was trying to paint between the two protrusions on the front of the chest, but other that that it is easier to paint everything else on the kit.

I have very little attachment to Gundam Seed, (Pretty much just SRW J) but this little dude hasn't left my desk in some time! He's so fun to fiddle with and pose. I even tried my hand at painting him, since he has very little in paint apps outside of the part's main colors. For a 5-er, he's fun as he is, but I think putting in that little extra effort makes you feel all the more connected to the kit. Best part is, you don't even have to do a good Job! (I certainly didn't but he still feels more complete with the better eyes and Gray trim.) Give him, or any of the SD kits a shot if you want a little buddy to watch Gundam with!
