    It's probably supplanted by the EG Gundam in this role in some respects, but this HG GM was always the one I'd recommend to people who wanted something a little more practical than scratch pla-plate to experiment on and practice. It's quite cheap and quick to build, and you're left with an open canvas: Plenty of seam-lines to fill, lots of open areas for scribing, or whatever you want to do.
    The back head camera can be solved by snipping a bit of the clear green runner flag to size and gluing it in, and you can always drill a hole in the dummy beam saber handle to fit your dozens of spare saber blades. :)

    Untill the recent updated first.grades and even the 30mm line in general, this was the kit I would have recommended anyone wanting something to try gunpla for the first time. The cost, minimal accessories and the fact you are working with a grunt suit means you can safely mess up and still work with it. The one thing I am glad to never see again is the fixed shoulder and hip pegs. They snapped off too easily, and weren't easy to fix.

    Of all the Bandai kits I've built, this is by far the worst offender for the box art misrepresenting the kit. The painted version on the box should have been painted blue instead of white. They do that quite often it seems, but it's always but this is the most blatant. Usually you open the box, see the color, then go back and see how the box sort of does show that color, but the shading or something disguised it. This is just straight up the wrong color on the box.
