Level of individual detail parts on the level of actual military models, but instead of a nice big sturdy tank hull you’re attaching things to a rather dainty mecha frame which, while characteristic of Nagumo and FFS, can be troubling sometimes when it comes to durability, even when just handling it. Do yourself a favor, buy some quick setting plastic cement. And put together joints before actually building the parts (out of order in the manual for example), the amount of force you need to push them together threatens disassembly if not outright destruction. Fortunately it’s quite easy to see what constitutes a frame as opposed to an armor piece. It’s not completely color accurate (the head jewel and eyes in particular I had to use markers for) but I mean, the manga is mostly black and white and it appeared in the movie for like a couple seconds. There’s enough marvel in the whole rest of the Mortar Headd.

I think this kit had the potential to be a cool build but ultimately I was let down. I was not able to complete the model when I couldn’t attach the leg to the foot via a snap in joint. Unfortunately I ended up snapping off the shin guard from the force I was exerting trying to connect the joints. Also not necessarily a con just a friendly heads, up this kit doesn’t NEED glue but it will certainly make your life easier when trying to keep some of the smaller pieces in place
