Premium Bandai HG 1/144 鋼彈 L.O.BOOSTER

Finally snapped together this HG L.O.BOOSTER, and the dark color scheme hides nub marks way better than some of my other builds. The boosters on the back are massive and click in securely, giving it a really imposing silhouette.

The articulation on this is fantastic for an HG, letting me pose the booster wings in some really dynamic sweeping angles that look straight out of the show. It’s a shame it’s a Premium Bandai exclusive, but the build was totally worth tracking down.

I was really impressed by how well the extra thrusters on the backpack snap into place—feels solid once assembled. The build itself took a couple evenings, but the final pose with the beam rifle looks fantastic on my shelf.
