Built this fairly recently and it's pretty good for it's age. I used a gold gundam marker on the thrusters and shoulders to get that authentic hyper mode look.
Considering some of the newer HGs cost about as much as this kit, it's a great buy as long as you know what you're in for. I have MG Shining, Burning, and Master Gundam all posed together
Oh man, I went in to pick up a few replacement tools and it took all of my self control not to grab the Master Gundam sitting on the shelf. Been regretting it since, but my backlog is big enough for now lol. Someday.
@@possumlodge5368 It suffers from the same issues as this kit does. Not amazing part separation, the old school screws, and nub marks show up on the black plastic but that could have just been my fault. Overall it's a good kit at a good price, but I feel you on the backlog. Good problem to have! I also have to stop myself from buying anything else lol
Hello, greetings from the Philippines. Hopefully that Bandai would have the MGEX versions of Shining Gundam and God Gundam respectively, in line of the 30th anniversary of the Mobile Fighter G Gundam.

They really could use a revamp on some of these old designs. Would love to see that upcoming G Gundam project that's coming up.
I'd love to see a design that combines some of the features of the Shining with the God.
I remember when this came out. I had it back when I was in 5th grade. Wish I still had it lol

For sure, going in blind would be a little hard but still for the price it's solid

Watch out for the shoulder armor peg. Prone to breaking.
Mental note, I'll keep an eye on it

The G Gundam line is for sure on that could use the MGEX treatment and it mean something
@@thespicer once the Shining Gundam and God Gundam will be available as an MGEX kit, I will buy these.
Mine didn’t come with enough screws I was so sad but I just glued the feet
Always seem to miss out of prints of the shining Gundam
you can easily get them now
