프리미엄 반다이 HG 1/144 건담 마린 타입 [건다이버]

The molded panel lines on the marine limbs are crisp enough that panel lining alone brings out the underwater look without any paintwork. Build took me about two evenings, and the high-grade articulation in the legs really sells the submerged thruster poses.

The frame articulation on this kit is incredibly smooth for a marine-type mobile suit, and the molded detail on the chest and shoulders really pops without needing extra paint. Assembly took me a solid evening, but every panel lines up perfectly and the finished GUNDIVER looks fierce on the shelf.

The articulation on this kit is incredibly sharp right out of the box—panel lines are deep and clean, so it barely needs any scribing. I was worried about the dark armor hiding detail, but the molding makes everything pop even unpainted.
