Reviews

The perfect kit?

Honestly, what can I say? Before I built this kit, I built the MG freedom 2.0. That was a good kit but I had a few criticisms of it - the lack of undergating on the black wing sections for example. This thing fixes every single criticism I had of that kit and adds so much more besides. It is aggressively undergated, which is especially important in any kit with gold chrome like this. You build up the entire inner frame before starting to apply armour over it, meaning that when you are about a third of the way into the build, you already have an absolutely stunning golden kit to enjoy. Even just the inner frame has insane colour separation, and you have a huge number of foil stickers that you apply to things like the ends of pegs in the inner frame, most of which end up covered up so you can skip them if you like, but you won't want to because it just makes the inside look amazing.

In its final form, this kit is an absolute thing of beauty even without a single decal applied. It has insane posability and the details are just fanatical. The build is a joy the whole way through. This is the best kit I have ever built, hands down. All that being said, I have two things to warn you about. The etched metal stickers do not have a great adhesive and they are easy to have fall out during the build process. I actually lost two of them, only to find them a few days later hidden in the carpet. Be very careful applying them and consider adding a little adhesive of your own, perhaps a dab of model cement. That being said, no one else is likely to notice if yours are missing... only you will know, deep down.

The second is a bit more impactful. This comes with six pre-posed hands and two poseable hands. The poseable ones are an absolute menace, the fingers fall out of them all the time for me even though I was trying to be delicate when using them. This is particularly annoying because the preposed hands do not include ones for holding the beam sabers! You can sort of get the beam sabers in the rifle holding hands but it is not perfect. It's probably possible to use hands from a similar kit if you have any spares, but you'd need to paint the fingers gold. Perhaps I will be able to tighten up my poseable hands to the point of usability with some nail polish, or one could glue them... but for now I will just be avoiding beam saber poses.

Finally, it is kind of a shame that this kit does not come with any wings of light/wings of the skies effects or a way to display launched dragoons. Thankfully, there is a third party DDB kit for that.

That's a lot of griping though, and I just want to reiterate that this kit is amazing and I would recommend it to absolutely anyone. The build feels premium the whole way through, even the instruction manual feels premium. A pure joy to build, and surprisingly easy to do so as well.
