I impulsively bought this kit when it was on sale for half price during a trip to Toyama some time ago.
This time, I had the opportunity to go back to my parents' house for a 1-night, 2-day trip, so I planned to pay it off during that time. Once I've finished it, I'll foist it on my parents... or rather, give it to them as a gift.
With just a few tools, I did some surface treatment, re-engraved the panel lines, and panel lining, and it's finished!
I thought this when I used the kit 20 years ago too, but Gundam really gives you a sense of security. It doesn't make a strong statement, and yet it's not cheap-looking.
Compared to the previous kit, the joints bend much better, and it can strike cool poses!
