Comment
Being the final boss in the Turn-A Gundam TV series, this mobile suit is the only rival
that matches the performance of Turn-A Gundam. Both are ancient relics that are being dug up
and use the same moonlight butterfly ultimate attack.
In my opinion, this is the coolest looking bad guy in the entire Turn-A TV Series. I did not regret in buying this kit and the only regret is that my skill is not good enough to give this kit what it deserves. Hopefully Bandai will come up with a MG or at least 1/100 scale HG but chances is slim as Turn-A TV series is not being well receive in Japan.
This is my only 1/144 scale mech that pass the crouching test. A lot of exposed underside and this mean that I have to paint both side.

Weapons, Gimmicks and Accessories
Both rifle and bazooka can be inserted into the oversize backpack. |
Construction Note
- Seam lines is obvious in many places and extra effort needed for sanding.
- Painting white still sucks. Frustrated. Paint it like dry brushing thus found out a new way to paint Tamiya flat.
- Emerald green is not available in Tamiya. Use artist acrylic to mix into white paint.
- Color: Dark Grey, White : Emerald Green 9:1, Flat Blue
- Panel line with mechanical pencil.
Lesson Learned
- A self-discovered method in painting Tamiya flat.
In brief
This is, in general, a good kit at its price. Expect to paint this kit as the exposed
underneath is supposed to be gray or black.
