Bandai 1/144 RG Aile Strike Gundam

Nice I can put it up with the other ones I have in my collection

This kit is a fantastic representation of its subject material. It's one of the earlier Real Grade releases, so there are some building quirks that have been largely improved later on, but the engineering is all top notch and the color separation is outstanding. Accessories are what you'd expect; beam rifle, shield, beam sabers, and two small combat knives. Decals are outstanding as usual; lots of options. The body can support the weight of its massive backpack unit if you can get the feet planted properly and balance the weight, but you want an action base with this. Articulation and details are superb, and the build is very stable. As an earlier Real Grade release, you don't get much in the way of extra hands, just articulated and closed fist, and getting the beam ... MoreThis kit is a fantastic representation of its subject material.

Articulation and details are superb, and the build is very stable. As an earlier Real Grade release, you don't get much in the way of extra hands, just articulated and closed fist, and getting the beam rifle into the hand with its folding peg is a challenge. Also this kit has camera sections on the head that come in clear, which need to be blue; no stickers are provided for these two small details, but even a marker can fix this. All said these are minor gripes that shouldn't detract from an otherwise excellent package.
