This thing came out beautiful. It was my first time building any gunpla and while I won't say I had zero issues, these were mostly user error... be careful to read the instructions carefully. I accidentally cut something off a piece that I shouldn't have.

There is no such thing as a perfect kit, however, so here are my few gripes. I found that at least one of the hands, and the pieces at the tips of the rail guns did not stay on well. The hand I gather I should be able to tighten up with some topcoat, the rail guns I will cement on if it continues to be an issue as there should be no reason to avoid that. I also found that the black sections on top of the wings were difficult to cut cleanly (they're made of a softer plastic) and difficult to clean up, with nubs or sanding attempts both showing up. It would have been very nice if these parts in particular were undergated. The shoulders attach onto the arms and it's pretty easy to dislodge them when posing, putting them back on again can be a slightly nuisance. I've also found the balljoint at the wrist comes out at times.

However, I still enjoyed the build, and the gundam looks gorgeous once completed. The detailing is excellent, as is the articulation, and it holds poses very well. Mine it out of box with a bit of panel lining and no decals (yet). I might be a little addicted to this now... I've already started building a Justice to go with it and wow, the fatum-00 looks *incredible*!

Owners are very friendly and accommodating. Will recommend!
