Using the HGUC Gundam Alex, I tried to recreate the scene from episode 4 of "War in the Pocket" where it seems to have been hit by the Kampfer's chain mine, but then it's almost undamaged after removing its Chobham armor!

So, the main focus this time was "scene recreation"! 😁
Here's a test assembly with the Chobham armor on.

Personally, I prefer this more massive look to the slender normal state. 😁
It's an older HGUC kit, but the seam lines are barely noticeable, so I'd like to build it properly next time I get my hands on one! 😆
