INTRODUCTION

5 Shooting Stars were seen dropping from space to the earth. Among them is the Heavy Arms. Piloted by circus guy Trowa Barton, the Heavy Arms lives up to his name with superb weaponry all over. This kit is also no exception.


HEAD UNIT

Small but detailed enough. Compared to the 1/144 Gundam Sandrock, thee head details are better viewable. Only a piece of seal for the chin and one for the eyes. The remaining are all parts which come in mostly correct colours. Simple.


BODY UNIT

A simple kit that can fully open. This kit is superb. The internal details of the gattlings needs painting as the whole piece is bright red. The chest plates are quite steady but do come loose once in a while. The plates need detailing on the arrow pointer parts. Apart from that, everything is acceptable here.


ARM UNIT

The 1/144 non-graded arm system. The specialty of this kit's arms are that each arm contains a different weapon. The right arm has a built in foldable army knife. The knife is white and needs some gray paint and darker gray detailing to perfect the colour. The left arm's fist can be removed and can be replaced with the shield with a gattling gun. The shield also needs further detailing to perfect it.


LEG UNIT

Typical 1/144 non-graded leg system. A bit flimsy but still stands nicely. The legs are at least seperated between the upper thighs and the lower legs. Good detail but the feet needs white paint on the top of the feet to detail it up.


WEAPONS/BOOSTER/EXTRAS & FINAL VERDICT

Gattling and Shield. The 2 only weapons available. Good detail but needs painting. The additional 100yen for the re-release kit is for the 1/35 scale Trowa Barton in his opening theme pose. Needs glue to put him together. A 600yen kit which is nicely done. Get one before they are discontinued since they are quite old kits.

can't agree at all with this review as while yes its good value for the $5.00 price tag the kits (1/144) wing gundam series are horrible by that time and todays standards
