It has a bit of an issue with a large panel gap, awkwardly placed nubs, Bad casting here and there, and extra, extra, small parts. Building her was a chore and a lot of work was needed for a clean build. The plastic was easy to work with, and the fitment was tight so it was doable. Its busy design makes it hard to pose, but once everything is done, she looks great, and it was very satisfying once everything was done.

The No. 4 part on K1 runner is deformed, resulting in the gap shown in the photo. This part isn't broken, but was of wrong shape out of packaging due to in the molding process: it shrank more than expected when it was cooled down. This is the very first time I get such a problem with a model kit. The instruction suggests you can ask the manufacturer for after-sale, but you have to use the Chinese social app WeChat (or some other Chinese apps). This would not help, as they don't ship replacement out of China for free. Finally and fortunately, NewType was able to sent me the replacement part. I can finally complete the model. As for the model itself, it's still great. I love the weapon designs and do appreciate the fact there are two complete bodies -- you can have an unarmed version and an armed version on display at the same time. My main complaint is about the tail: assembling it is a huge pain. It's extremely hard to attach the clear pieces. I'm giving 3 stars (but still recommend it) at last, as I do like the design yet the QC issue is a bit too crazy. I may not buy things of Eastern Model, at least for a while, since this experience is quite unpleasant.
