★★★★★Wonderful and simple.

These work best if you pair them with a rigid sanding stick like what's offered by Dspiae. Can't get them here on Newtype but they are available in the US. They last and for Gunpla I've never need to get into anything lower than 800grit. To get scratches out you need to offset by 90 degrees when moving up in grits. With these and sanding sticks that go up to 7,000grit you can getan extremely clean finish. You have to put in the time to get the clean results you want so take your time and go slow.

This sheet is huge! Sharp details and variety so you can customize the layout. I will be posting more pictures when I'm finished. I've never been let down by Delpi and of the waterslides I've worked with these are some of my favorites. Releases fast in warm or room temperature water. If you have the Freedom 2.0, this is the sheet you want. I found placement details on the company's website. But I'll be posting a more pictures so if you are trying to figure it out and dont want to visit the manufacturer site be patient with me. Sitting for long periods bent over even just a little causes me pain. This sheet comes with plenty of extras of the original warnings and then a bunch of variations, as you can see. It's hard to decide what to use at times, but the standard numbered decals are adjusted a little here and there to look better on the kit. These definitely look better on the kit than on the sheet, and as soon as you wet that first one you'll see for yourself. If you plan to do the gold decals on the wings, I recommend doing those first before doing any other decals on them. Its 6/29 now, so I should be able to get this think all completed and have pictures up in about a week.

★★★★★Done right.

First, this set is a little higher detailed and sharper than the basic decals that come with Kyrios. The added elements on the shield and the orange accents on the shoulders and knee wings is just enough to break up the almost pure white of the kit. It gives it something extra, and the color matching is something that makes it even better. I ordered a second set to do both sides of the shoulders and wings. I also picked up the photo etch set, and the decals with the AW9 set are the best ones in sharpness and the cautions and warnings are reworked to type rather than the barcode like design of the standard set. If you only get one, you get more bang for your buck with this kit when it comes to extras. $6 vs. $25, it's a bit obvious, but if you are doing photo etch then you'll have those ones as well. I'd definitely recommend this set of decals to anyone wanting to spice up the Kyrios.

If you love Gundam Wing and Endless Waltz, then this is a kit I can reccomend. I was looking for the TV version but came up empty handed on that quest. Things to point out is this kit will take a little extra effort if you want to avoid stress marks and have the parts fit together at their best. The wings are solid and take some added effort to move after being constructed. They can also be a little sharp if you put in effort to sand them. The scythe does take some effort to position when trying to pose the kit and I wish it had the double blade design. But bandai made that part of a expansion set...to get more money???, maybe adding it to kits and raise the price to adjust for it? The wings wrapping around the front doesn't really work all that great, the kit looks better with them open and extended up to give that ominous look Deathscythe really needs. But hey, if you take the time it can come out great. Most disappointing part is the lack of panel lines. The kit does have some nice dry transfers but I'm more comfortable using water slides. The learning curve and marginal benefits of the tiny sheet of dry transfer isnt worth the effort if I'm getting a decal set anyway. I think it would be a great kit for some customization. The skirts are the most annoying part as they are with all the EW line of kits. But even with zero decals and a few visible marks where I was going a bit fast, it still looks really good. I love Deathscythe in all its forms. Every kit has its shortcomings, and I can definitely recommend this kit.

★★★★★Totally worth the cost.

I'll start by saying this kit isnt for the faint of heart. Some pieces can be a challenge to get into place, like the winglets on the nose section for the flight mode. You'll have to make a choice on having them fully show with less of a hold, or be set inside and slightly strange looking for a better hold on the plastic. Besides a few challenging spots, this kit is straightforward, though you may need to look around for detailed pictures of where everything is supposed to go. You'll end up with a few extra parts but if you're crafty you'll find ways to incorporate them as well. The water slides tgat come with this kit are highly detailed and I would recommend using them first. Some positions may need changed, and adding in another brand can allow you to get the desired level and effect you like. Don't be afraid to break the mold and change up where you place cautions and warnings. If you're new to decals that arent out of the box, I'd say lay down your design decals first and cautions and warnings last. Dont be scared to use as much as you like to make it look industrial either. It's your taste so do what you like. This does fall into customization and I would recommend using less CA than more. It's hard to find a good debonder that wont damage the plastic, and the common ones are a nightmare when you have to remove the damage and hope it's not too bad. A toothpick is a great way to apply sparing dabs to avoid excess.

At the price I'm gonna guess not. The pictures on here are a starting point. But sometimes you have to go to the manufacturer to get more detailed shots. This kit makes me want to do a second Freedom 2.0
