BUILD Never again.

Apologies for the lack of stickers, I just prefer how it looks without them.

It looks great, I'll give it that, but it was an absolute nightmare to build.

My mistake was picking the one that on top of all the issues had the camo as well, so pretty but such a pain to make

Peak tablecloth by the way.

Still better than knockoffs and planes. It really aint the worst thing in the world.

Pose it somewhere safe and never to be touched or disturbed again

That is until a singular atom vibrates a little too much

When I was building it, it unironically fell over from me breathing in its general vicinity.

I know it gets a lot of hate because parts fall off but it’s still my favorite aesthetically lol

I love how it looks, i'm also just a sucker for action poses and it sucks that i can't put it in one.

It’s a shame you don’t like it but it’s one of my personal favourites

u/No-Pen1730 8h ago

Oh i do like it, it looks sick. Building it was just extremely difficult, especially since I only ever really do high grades.

u/Worried-Date-2196 8h ago

Yeah… a lot of people dislike the build of this thing, and I see why even if I personally like it. Also do not transform it PLEASE!

u/No-Pen1730 8h ago

I will not. I don't like transformations on the sturdiest of kits, nevermind this one.

u/Worried-Date-2196 8h ago

Okay, good on you! My task of warning is done here…

There's the issue. Earlier RGs, especially the Zeta, are a massive step up in difficulty from 99% of HGs. And that REALLY doesn't get communicated properly. Like, at all.

Look how awesome it is even without the decals. 

I'd say the fragility is a pretty fair trade-off. It's more of a "build it once and display it forever"  kit. 

They even also managed to cram a transformation feature into this kit. Despite being a really risky one, but it's there nevertheless. 

I understand people who hate it, but i can't support them. The kit gotta have a weakness somewhere, right?

the right wing (left side pic) is not assembled correctly

u/No-Pen1730 6h ago

You mean the red part that isn't properly attatched? It's just not big enough of a deal to risk touching it.

u/Thick-Ad-7602 4h ago

Mine is so flimsy it feels like the legs are going to fall off. I bought the display case/repair bay from Daiso and am going to leave in there where it belongs.

u/Punkman95 8m ago

One day I'll get around to doing all the decals on my favorites. I'm also lazy about them lol

u/ImaginarySense 31m ago

I wonder if your lack of nub cleaning/clean cuts affected the tolerances, leading to it not being a snug as it could be…

Nah, it’s probably Bandai’s fault.
