Comment
Although HG, comes with under-gate runners that should not scar the gold plating. Plastic molded nicely and come in gloss. This should be a perfect kit for lazy modeler like me.

This kit is purchased from Berjaya Timesquare.

Construction Note
This kit comes with gold plated runners and gold plated parts are undergated. This mean that the the cut out parts from the runner leave no scar on the plated surface. Moreover, the primary color comes in glossy black and will be waste to paint over it. Although this is a HG, parts separations are cleverly done and I can easily get away without painting this kit. The red parts are using the provided sticker and it does look fine in overall. It is a waste of effort to panel line the gold and black parts. Only the bluish gray parts are panel line with Gundam Marker.

This is a very good kit for those who do not paint.
