Kit is slightly over detailed like all the 1/100 Wing kits (details and over pannel lining they have looks kinda tacky) but, as a modeler that should be NO problem!

This head will require alot of work. Due to the design of the gundam you will need to paint at minimum the gotee, eyes and alot of white edge trim that lines the helmet. The head is standard 2 halves and the face mask made of a clear green eye, white face cover, and a white gotee. Seperate gold plated v-fin is included (the back side is chrome and not gold) Head also has 1 polycap for mounting to the neck joint.

Pretty standard aswell. The unit has fixed arm and lower torso connections (not ball joint) it has 2 polycaps located above the shoulder for mounting the wings. Construction is pretty much 2 white halves for the lower parts, 2 black halves for the upper part and you just place the polycaps inside and the white neck piece inside before snapping the halves together. There are 6 gold plated "ribs" that are seperate peices that snap on.

Pretty standard stuff huh? Shoulder is 2 halves with 2 polycaps mating together to form the ugly (by mg standards) and somewhat weak elbow joint. The lower arm is 2 halves with a socket pc for the hands. The hands are 2 halves for the palm and one moving piece that has all the finger moulded together. Very ugly and cant hold anything nor can the socket wrist joint support the weapon. Typical...

The left arm has a buster shield aswell. It is 3 parts with 2 grey pincers inside. The pincers are geared so they open and close together/evenly. When in the open position you can slide a clear beam piece into it like it is firing towards the enemy.

Standard fair. Upper leg is 2 halves, lower leg is 2 halves. the knee cap is a seperate fixed piece (no movement.) The joint between the 2 leg halves is made of 2 grey parts and is seperate. It connect to both the top and bottom by 2 polycaps. Nice for easy painting.

Wings: Wings are awesome but, are WAY!!!!! over detailed with panel lines. (to the point of making it look bad) They are black so you will need to paint a lot of white and red. They connect to the upper torso by polycaps above the shoulder. On the connectors there are 3 joints for each wing part all rotate up and down. (not ball joints) The joints have no problem supporting and holding poses.

Dual Scythe. Main weapon is pretty cool. It is pretty easy construction and both blades can rotate (the top one is even double jointed) unlike the original deathscythe model kit the blade will stay put so you can pose it without being floppy. The scythe's height is taller than the gundam with its wings open too! Too bad that the hands the kit comes with cannot support the top heavy weapon with out some work...
