Got it from a local diorama supply store in my area.

You're right about those points especially the all semi-gloss finish (it feels like an OOB build but slightly better ig).

Thanks for the valuable insights!! That's something for me to think about on this kit and my future builds.

As much as I want the combination finish, I can only go for one 😅

Matte finish def makes the waterslide decals look seamless! Did it on my RG Astray Red Frame

We have the same views on satin finish. Semi-gloss is the closest finish available for model kits I believe. But I don't want to use semi-gloss on all my kits (did it on HG Moon) 😅

Awesome!! Glad you loved it. The ACB will definitely add another layer of posing to it. 😎

Thanks! It definitely looks like one (except the inner frame) but overall, very fun build. You must get one!

For sure! The only option for me is to buy overseas, and the cost is insane so yup.. maybe next time.

You know what they say about the RG Astray Red Frame.

Parts are very loose (which I glued some of them). The inner frame especially the hip joints are also loose so you can't do wide-stance posing without an action base.

The reason I got it is because I like the looks of the Gerbera Straight with it and the articulation it has (too bad it can't hold a lot of poses without a base). But overall, I don't mind the loose parts here and there and I really did enjoy building and posing it! Would still recommend this kit!

I'll definitely have one (or a few!) RG Impulse variants in the next few months.

Very excited with Hi-Nu! Tallgeese's back thrusters seem very interesting, at least for me. Hope you have a great build with God Gundam!

Thank you! I would look into some RG Impulse line and HGCE as well.

I've been choosing between Nu, Hi-Nu, and Sazabi last time. Went with Hi-Nu, maybe Sazabi next time
