After doing gunpla for 15+ years I know FULL WELL that the pictures shown to you are supposedly "professionally painted" as per Bandais labeling. That being said everyone knows SD comes unpainted and stickers are provided. Up until recently the stickers provided always matches the official images shown. Not in the case of this kit. Stickers provided cause the kit to look totally different then the images shown which was the selling point for me. Impossible to get to the level of detail shown in the images unless someone has no responsibilities in life and endless time on their hands and all the very best tools. Maybe I'm being a little harsh but seriously, not everyone has the same budget/available time on their hands to recreate a kit as close to the official images as possible, which is why the stickers have always been included and were in the past, identical.
