I've finished painting all the parts, so I did a test assembly.

The extensions I made to the abdomen and thighs seem to have made a difference; it looks quite sleek. It has a very good style.

I wanted to make it look like the old Xi Gundam design I'm familiar with from G Generation and games, so I went with a crisp tricolor scheme. Ideally, a darker blue like cobalt blue or navy would be closer to the original image, but I went with a lighter blue for personal preference. It looks pretty good this way too!

I lost the circular mold on the knee joint, so I've ordered a replacement part. Until it arrives, I'll be painting some of the finer details.

The sink marks weren't properly addressed.
