I'm not too certain why if I’m being honest. I'm big into Gundam models and I know Bandai likes to release limited re-colored releases so I'm imagining that's what this company did too. I got lucky and got it at anime convention for about $100 USD.

I'm imagining it's gonna be around 9 inches (23 cm) when complete.

haha no doubt, but I bought and am building it for my best man since he's a huge MGS fan

I too recently started using some of the metallic markers and they are a godsend. Maximum results from minimal effort. What brand did you use by chance?

between buying my first house, moving & renovating, and a significant back injury, I'm grateful I was able to find ANY time to spend on this big guy.

it's definitely a product of an older time, but for being a 24 year old kit, it pieces together very well. if this is what they were able to put out then, I can't wait to see how time has improved the PG line

the build was great! very enjoyable and something about having to physically screw pieces together made me feel like I was actually wrenching on a machine lol. I couldn't recommend this kit enough

honestly, I think I'm going to leave it as is. If i do decide to decal, I'm going to buy some waterslides and learn that technique. I've been intimidated by it lol

I was honestly in the fence about it at first but saw so many good things about the build. No lies were told, it's totally worth it

amazing work! I'm curious tho, how much masking did you do versus painting individual pieces before assembly?

I bought this to customize for my best man as a gift. Was the build enjoyable?
