After finishing the painting on the Rising Freedom and starting the assembly, I realized the white antenna was missing without me noticing. 😅 Since remaking the antenna would be a bit of a hassle, I ordered a replacement part, and my next kit will be the Strike Rouge.

I bought a pre-assembled HGCE Rouge from a flea market, and for the I.W.S.P., I opened an old HG kit that I'd had sitting around for 20 years!

For the Rouge's torso, the parts didn't fit together well and there were terrible gaps, so I glued on 0.3mm plastic sheets and then smoothed the surface. I think this is the worst gap I've seen since a kit from the Showa era! 😅

The neck poly-parts are resin.
