Premium Bandai HGUC 1/144 AMX-018 [HADES] Todesritter

The funnel bits click in securely and the gold accents really pop against the dark plastic. It was a straightforward build, maybe four hours total, and the finished kit looks impressive on the shelf.

I wasn't expecting the sheer presence this kit has once built, the large back binders look incredibly imposing on a shelf. The dark grey plastic captures the HADES mode vibe perfectly out of the box without needing paint.

The box art alone made me grin before I even opened it, and the panel lines on this HGUC kit are crisp enough to make detailing a breeze. It’s a solid, chunky build that feels substantial once the arms are on, and the dark plastic really sells the HADES look.
