Still think that is just some of the best box art I have seen :woohoo:

I am wondering how this compares to the Gouf I just did?

Forgive my ignorance Dave, but is this considered a Gundam?? It looks super cool! very interesting kit!

Well no but it is close as it's a multi coloured, paint if you want to Japanese style kit. These ones need glue as all the Bandai Gundam stuff doesn't in general. However this is far more fiddly than the normal Gundam related affair, you also get water slide decals - you most often get stickers or even dry transfers with Bandai.

Ah, thanks for the explanation!

Here's some progress for you, first I built it up unpainted then broke it down into sub assemblies for painting -

In this last pic I have just put the decals on, next I will do the panel lines and some weathering.
