Your Bag

Only part about this kit I thought was finicky or weird was the applying of the funnel effects but it's actually quite simple after some fumbling around. Part separation is crazy good with very minor stickers that can easily be fixed with a metallic Gundam for the one used on the cockpit. Articulation is pretty good there was an issue with the fake piping in the leg that can come apart from each other as far as I can tell the issue comes from the piping not sliding with the rod and can be temporarily fixed with just holding the piping with tweezers.

If you like the Hi-nu gundam then definitely buy this kit. If you don't, then you might want to pass. I don't to leave the review long so here's this: Pros: Comes with a stand, funnel effects, and everything you need to make the hi-nu look complete. Has good proportions and looks like it should. It goes for "Manga-accuracy" and delivers. For 80$, you get exactly what you pay for. Cons: Fin funnel effects are very fiddly. Won't be messing with them at all in the future. The built feels old in some areas and can be a bit fiddly. Fin funnels don't hold on very well and the back is pretty heavy. Joints feel loose on my kit which doesn't help with the heavy backpack. I personally like the standard nu more so I didn't have too much fun with this kit. But you might, idk. If you don't want to wait for the rg, or like 1/100 scale like me, then just get this one.

I enjoyed every minute of this build. I love this gundam, it has a much more feminine look to it and those fin funnels are awesomesauce.

Was a bit hesitant to buy this older MG but was pleasantly surprised by how good it turned out. Everything fits snuggly and the fin funnel assembly is a lot less troublesome than the Nu Ver Ka. Even came with funnel effect parts and a stand. Weapons are a little plain but some panel lining makes it pop. If you want an old kit that still holds up, this is the one.
