This kit from a build stand point is a 3 at best, but once you're done, this kit stands out on the shelf. I build mostly 3rd part kits these days and have over 280 kits. But this one I had the 2nd most issue with, first being the sentinel, and the issue I had was molding issues. The biggest 2 issues I had were the top part of the metal frame on the left leg. The metal was molded with a part flared out with no place to insert it back in, so I had to get a strong pair of pliers and bent it back in some and shave the plastic part that went over the top to make the thigh fit with no gaps. The other major issue I had was that the torso leaned forward, so again I had to shave some of the plastic to allow the torso to be a little straight, but even then it leans somewhat to the front. So that issue forced me to have to glue the red midsection together since it was leaning and wanted to come apart. Minor issues were with the face; the green eyepiece doesn't snap into the face plate at all, so it had to be glued, and the white plate for the mouth had to be altered and glued to make it work. But over all, I had fun. It was a challenge, but the thing came out amazing. 

I just finish building this kit but ran in to some Small issues with certain pieces, but considering it being from a different company it was still a great building experience for me, but the cons for me were some of the pieces were either hard to put together and some pieces were loose to stay on, but some glue solved that issue and the end result for this kit was stunning after I finished building it. Still need to add the waterslides and it will complete the overall look. But my honest opinion, this was a great Model Kit, just be prepared to add a bit more elbow grease to some parts and have Crafters Glue ready for some parts as well..

First and foremost this kit is stunning in person even after just snap building. This is my first real look into chinese-non gundam model kits and I could not be more impressed. If you're an experienced model builder you will have an absolute blast with this one. If you havent strayed too far out of Bandai's models (or at all) I do warn you that you have been spoiled by bandai thus far, and other companies models can sometimes have fitting issues or loose parts that aren't too commonly seen within Bandai's domain. The good news is, if you are even just a little confident with a hobby knife or sanding (and have a bottle of super glue on hand.) I fully believe that any builder with moderate gunpla experience and a little confidence in trying someting new can tackle this kit with relative ease. 5/5
