A mini review for this small kit. Finally finished painting (took me 8 months, mind you) for this baby! When laziness strikes; it hits you hard. Not done really (ooohh the laziness!). More on that in a bit...
Front (yep improved a little with my photography thanks to Photo Caddy app for android)
Side
It's awesome how tiny the decals give a huge boost with the aesthetics department. Ver Ka kits I do not dare >.< (prolly soon hihihi)
Clear stickers are "good enough" when you're working on a light / white surface but looks abysmal on dark / black and didn't bother putting some on those. That teeny weeny caution mark is definitely an eye-catcher!
Amuro's mean green (white) killing machine
Side by side comparison with v1 and v2
Pros:
What an SD Nu SHOULD look like
Articulation on arms
Clear stickers are awesome *when bought with the Zeta pair pack
Cons:
When compared to v1 - this Nu has no bazooka & funnels lost it's twisty gimmick
HOLLOWED PIECES on weapons
....Wait what?! No weapons!? How about the HWS?! You bought the twin pack for nothing!
Slow down Bebop. The clear stickers did justice with the purchase AND I was disturbed, more over EXTREMELY DISGUSTED with the hollow side of the weapons. Sure a putty would've remedied that but yeah, ORE WA LAZY. Painting this kit was already an excruciating process with my time and moolah constraints and digging deeper into the kit-dom come of a modeler was not an option (at least for now). I may..... someday.... back track with this kit and do what should a modeler/collector would. I know I will as Amuro's units are close to my Gundam Heart. Right now I am happy with what I have achieved and proud of "simply" executing the paint job cleanly. Cheers! :)
