Premium BANDAI Hobby MG 1/100 Hyaku-Shiki Crash

The gold plating on the runners is flawless and really brings out the extra surface detail on this kit. The waist articulation is also surprisingly smooth right out of the box.

The gold coating on the Hyaku-Shiki Crash is eye-catching right out of the box, and the Master Grade detail really pops once you panel-line the inner frame. It took me a couple of evenings to finish, but the build was smooth with no loose parts, and the final presence on the shelf is worth every min

The inner frame articulation is a delight once you’re past the nub-cleaning, and the way the kit’s proportions balance with its weapons really sells the Mobile Suit look. It took me a solid weekend to finish, but the finished presence on my shelf was worth every hour.
