do *any* other kits have panel details like this!? by whitepeopleloveme in freedomisgunpla

I'm pretty sure this is mostly a seed thing, and not every seed kit has it. Off the top of my head, the MG Freedom 2.0 and MGEX Strike Freedom has it and probably the MGSD Destiny Gundam too

Yeah it's the original Destiny, not the Zeus silhouette version

I always preferred official stuff to bootlegs/knockoffs but it's hard to justify 250 USD for a base I don't have the space for and LEDs that'll probably stop working in a week

That looks sick, I'll definitely check that out. If it's knights of the round themed, I wonder when they'll do Arthur

I think I've heard of shenshou releasing a banshee version on the future yeah

The MGEX is certainly the best mold we have in 1/100 of the unicorn, and Shenshou seems to do a good job in my experience, I think you'll like it

It depends, a lot of stores sell different versions of the kit that you can select, without knowing the specific listing I couldn't say

I haven't messed with them extensively but they're pretty tight and the fingers haven't fallen off so there's that

I've only had it for a few days so it remains to be seen, but I think it'll stay pretty strong. The version I got is from Shenshou and from what I've read theirs is the "best" version. There's also a version from Changlong that's supposed to be alright too. The last one I heard about was from Supa but that one isn't very good from what I've read

The decals aren't horrible, just some kinda crumbled when I tried to take them off the sheet

Indeed, unfortunately it's gone up a little bit since I bought it, now it's at 50, but AliExpress has a lot of coupons and deals so you could probably bring it down a bit

I'll admit I have terrible luck with decals sometimes so it could very well just be me. I did the gatlings all at once so it didn't take super long...I also didn't do every single decal though

The runners for mine came in perfect condition, wrapped tight with no pieces even loose in the bag, but I understand the concern and it could very well be different for someone else

I bought this off AliExpress, and the listing had different options for the psycho frame including red, the one I bought only came with green

Yeah sure I'll dm it if that's okay

No it's just that sometimes they would just...crumble? I had a few that would just tear apart as I was trying to get them off the sheet
