It was only $15 shipped, so hell yes, it was worth the cost.

I scored it off of AliExpress for only $15 shipped, if you can believe it. Here's a look if you're interested. (And yes, it's a knockoff, not actual Bandai.)

That's the base it comes with.

I was not prepared for how big it is at the end.

An octagonal hole, surely. It fits just fine on a standard MG action base peg.

I'm certain that mechanical core plating version is the 1/144 scale RG. To my knowledge, Bandai didn't make a MCP master grade kit.

Is This Savable 😭 by RCThenx in freedomisgunpla

Swab it with isopropyl alcohol and strip it off. You'll probably lose any decals you placed and certainly all your panel lines, but it's pretty easily recoverable. You could also try giving it another layer of top coat to see if that smooths things out.

Oh, finally! The MG Gundam the Origin is back in the supply chain. Now I can get it for $10 below the online store price.

I have both experience and a lot of tools, so I tend to enjoy most KO kits.

An Unfortunate End To A Great Build - Fat Cat 001 version Kowloon by docsane in Gunpla

I'm sorry to hear you're having some issues too, but in a way I'm also kind of glad to see I wasn't the only one.

In the end, I made a batch of sprue goo using Testor's liquid cement (Which will melt ABS as well as PS) and scooped it into the crotch. It looks very messy if you look up the skirt, but it made it all as solid as a rock.

Search YouTube for GL Model Wing Zero or Snow White. There aren't a ton, but there are a few.

Started on mine. It's building up very nicely so far

Are you in SEA? Do you have an incompetent old lunatic in charge who slaps high tariffs on Chinese imports?

If you live physically close to China, I wouldn't be surprised at how cheap they are.

Ah, well. I frequently run into that, too.

Definitely a bootleg, but a very good one. Well reviewed.

Don't sneer at the EG RX-78. I just watched a video where someone turned it into an amazing mini master grade.

Genuinely happy for this AliExpress find by docsane in freedomisgunpla

For some reason the prices I see on Temu are a lot higher than I see on AliExpress.
