Well well well.....We have Tiera Erde's big fat Bazooka holder. Before seeing the 1/100 kit I never knew it had armor release that can make him slim (?). Well I have one point to note but I will include it in the final verdict.

Now, how do I start? Oh yeah, We have one half of it, Nadleeh, which was given the best treatment in this kit. The head has every coloured parts come pre-coloured. Except for the ears that need stickers and the eyes. For everything else, the head has 70% homage to Exia. Next, comes Virtue. I feel this guy was undervalued here. The mouth plate has red bits and a big white piece but all in the parts, the white piece is only given and the reds are stickers. The back white piece is quite loose and I wonder what purpose it serves in the kit. Though, there must be something to it if it's the real thing. That's more than I can say to it.

Again, Nadleeh wins the rat race with all the details going to him. Poor Virtue and I thought you were one of the main Gundams in the show. The shoulders of Virtue is made up of 2 colours, Gray and Red....and WHITE STICKERS for a very big and obvious bit. Nadleeh however only had stickers on the round chest panel and nowhere else. I begin to believe this kit should be just Gundam Nadleeh.

Very good and nice. Though more Virtue bits require stickers. The top, bottom, right and left edges of the black cannon besides Virtue's arms need quite an amount of gray stickers. For real, is this kit really Gundam Virtue? Nadleeh's arms however is quite the construction. Nothing more than stickers for the round plates at the side and others are all correctly coloured. I wonder if an MG kit of this will be coming.

Ahh finally, a part where only small sticker bits are used for both Virtue and Nadleeh. In Nadleeh, the legs are very very skinny and I don't like things that way. For Virtue, the legs are very bulky (for the sake of balancing the impact from the GN Bazooka). Nothing needs to be said here except that Nadleeh's feet have no red parts while in Virtue form, you need to install the red parts seperately.

OHHH The best bit of this kit.....Weapons....We have GN Beam Sabers, the side cannons on the arms of Virtue and the GN Bazooka that can slide in and out position. Very nice details for the GN Bazooka though the only problem would be that the golden parts are yellow so painting is needed here. As a final verdict, I would say "This is not a Gundma Virtue kit, this is a Gundam Nadleeh kit". I wasn't expecting this type of detail till I really assemble it but it's still cool. The price of 4000 yen of this was quite astonishing for me at first for a 1/100 Non Graded kit till I realised the whole story. Pictures will becoming soon when my cam is back.
