It's been awhile since I had this much fun building a kit. The mg Sazabi was great but this build and full armor unicorn take the cake so far this yr 2023

The Astray Turn Red was incredibly fun to build. The addition of the water slide decals were a big selling point for me. They help add a lot of extra detail to the model. The red zig-zag decals on the Tactical Arm swords were the most difficult to apply. Thankfully, a little Mr. Mark Setter allowed the decal sit tightly on the part. For anyone wanting to build this kit, I would recommend taking your time and approaching it one section at a time. This is not a model that can be powered through. Just like the standard MG Astray, the articulation and details are wonderful. You can pull off pretty much any pose you want; however, there may be some weight issues with the Tactical arms held in-hand. You get bonus stand to help recreate poses of the Astray holding them. However, I prefer to just keep them stored on the back since it gives the model imposing silhouette and they can act as an extra set of "legs" to help the kit stands securely (my kit actually remained standing after an earthquake). If you're up to the challenge and are a fan of Gundam Astray kits, I highly recommend this model.

If you've built an Astray before you know what to expect. Fantastic articulation, a rock-solid build (maybe a little too solid, feels like you could break the kit when snapping some pieces together), great color separation, and an amazingly dynamic display. This kit (thankfully) comes with an action base for one of the swords, but sadly it doesn't help much in posing the kit with the Tactical Arms due to balance of the actual kit body is poor while utilizing it. Would highly recommend an action base 5 for with this. Otherwise, a fantastic kit. It even comes with waterslide decals by virtue of being P-Bandai outside the USA!
