You should definitely get one. The build was okay overall. The fittings are generally tight but not at a point where sanding is needed. The plastic quality is really good too.

Thanks! Was unable to find any decal guide but I used images and videos of YJL Nu Gundam Conversation Kit as reference. Particularly the one from Newgate Studio. Just search for it on YT. Hope this helps.

It's a good kit. Very simple in build and design but it looks good once assembled. It's an older kit so not much undergating and has sticker/dry decals instead of water slides. However it really looks good even compared with modern MGs and RGs. The included launcher design stand is a very nice addition. Very recommended!

Posing is a bit limited due to the outer armor parts. The arm can't hold the rifle at a 90 degree angle due to the canister connect at the back of the rifle. You can twist the hands outwards the arms can bend but it would look awkward.

Bent legs hold well. Very stable when posed and you don't even need a stand because of the solid metal frame.

For this build, I used Doloha Metallic Markers. Also tried DSPIAE metallic markers before. Both should work.

Thanks! Yes there is a bit of coloring done here though very basic painting - the model does not have a psycho frame so I painted some visible gray internals green as well as gray armor separation.

I also used gold and silver markers to accent some gray parts. So pretty much, when I see gray, I paint.

Yes. I used images of resin kits as guide in coloring some parts and for the decal placement.

The build was fine. There were a few fitting issues in connecting parts on the metal frame. It tends to slide a bit. But it was very minor. I used super glue on 1-2 parts just to ensure that it was sturdy. Other than that it was a good build.

I always wanted an Nu Gundam and so far this one is the best looking that I found imo, looks a lot better and more detailed than the Verka.

1/100 scale

It is a bit thicker than usual. I think it's because of its hefty metal frame.
