Premium Bandai HG 1/144 D 鋼彈

The panel lines are surprisingly crisp for an HG kit, and the articulation in the shoulders lets me pose it mid-dive without any parts popping off. The extra detailing on the chest really makes it stand out on the shelf, even next to my other builds.

The wait was the longest part, but once it arrived, the panel lines and detailing on this HG kit really exceeded my expectations for the price point. The build was surprisingly smooth, and it looks sharp on the shelf even straight off the runners.

The articulation on this kit is incredible for the price point, every joint clicks into place with satisfying precision. Spent a full afternoon on it and the finished build looks like it jumped straight off the screen.
