This kit was sooooo fun. I've recently been doing some 08th MS Team MGs and while they are great for cutomising and panel scribing their age shows. This kit was such a refreshing break. Everything was so easy. It reminded me how much Master Grades have improved over the years. Pros: Lots of intricate panel lines. Super sturdy; it can stand on its own with the Ootori backpack equipped, with almost no forward lean. No loose joints at all. Pretty good articulation. A cool floating knee gimmick. Cons: SO MANY COLOR CORRECTING STICKERS. Like more than most high grades. I get that if they wanted the yellow lining on the wings to be molded it would be a pain (both for designers and builders), but I feel like there could have been a different solution. I chose to forgo all the stickers, but I may end up using some markers later to make it color accurate. Some of the joints were too tight, leading to me cracking one piece in the shoulder inner frame. I learned my lesson from that point and sanded down any joint that felt dangerously tight. The shield and shoulder armor get in each others way.

If youve built the remaster then you already know whats up. This beautiful kit has all the pros of the normal aile strike. This kit offers great articulation and is very sturdy, ive had my strike for over 8 years and the joints are still tight.

This is a beautiful master grade that can hold its own even without the base. I can't recommend it enough!
