So in the kit you get the EZ-8, the parachute backpack, heavy shield, machine gun, beam rifle and two be sabers. The build uses polycaps and uses stickers for details and color correction to a degree. Build has been alright but does require paint to look 100 accurate. Mainly with the red in the thrusters, the antenna on the head, the markings on the backpack and thighs and the bottom of the feet. So far I've only had a slight problem with the wrists being a bit loose and underwhelming neck and torso articulation.

i had no issues with the kits aside the polycaps feeling a bit loose. good points being its fairly simple to build with no major problems aside the polycaps themselves. also includes some titans iconography stickers to deck out the kit with but these will look bad on dark plastics. main dowsides being its got some rather old engineering and ideologies holding it together and those show in that a lot of the small details are not color accurate and a reliance on polycaps for all the primary joints.

Got the kit through another vendor since newtype didnt have it yet and kinda glad i did. the suit itself is rock solid and well designed aside it's ankles. it takes the design doctrine they thought up with the 30MM line and applies it in a mostly good manner. the only downside to the MS is it has limited posing of it's ankles. the ankle is a simple peg in slot joint. the foot design helps fix this but you may run into issues with the armor above the foot. my big problem with the kit is the rifle, the support arm that attaches to the suit has horrendous articulation. It's a peg slotted into the crotch armor that has a peg on top to put the support arm, but it can only pivot across a single plane and does not have any joints across the arm. there is a pivot point at the attachment to the rifle but this gives very little movement when you factor in suit's hands and arms grabbing the rifle. outside of this the rifle is overall good, its assembled from multiple pieces that can make it modular and potentially compatible with 30ms kits.

A neat kit for sure but it has a couple shortcomings. for example, it has two "antidote" pods and a single wire in the kit intended to be cut in half so you can have both pods deployed, but it only comes with a single display stand for those pods and no adapter to make it hold both. and it has some cool feet with grabby action, but... they are C clip in design and have no securing piece so they may pop off if over turned. i'd give it a 3.5 if i could but we dont have halves for rating so ima round it up to 4 since it still is a very neat kit and overall is solid.

great articulation, solid plastic on plastic joints, almost all weapons can be stored on the MS itself, great color separation and 3 total stickers(eyes and rifle). comes with a beam rifle, a small sword(beam torch) and its signature beam partizan. uses the standardized backpack port and the leg and arms contain C clip joints. its definitely a high bar to set for grunt suits.

one of those kits you really need to build at least once. the parts layering in this kit is fabulous and requires few stickers to achieve a color accurate model. literally the only gripe i can come up with for this suit was the right shoulder was a bit loose and thats easily fixable. there are no poly caps in the kit, so all the joints are plastic on plastic and are generally solid and hold their pose. this kit does take a few pages out of the 30MM line kits in that the knee joints are C clips, so you can easily kitbash with some of those legs, it has a universal backpack slot, and in general i think it uses mostly standardized sizes for all its joints for more easy kitbashing.

I do appreciate how much more robust the 30ms line is over some of the other similar kits I've made. The kit is essentially a bunch of parts with a recommended assembly but can be mixed and matched with other 30ms, 30mm kits and also some bandai kits without modding.

i loved building this kit and i agree you really should get a stand for this monster as some of its movement is limited and in general looks better flying. do note the action base adapter is DESIGNed to work with an action base 1, but can be modified to work with an action base 4/5 with some gel based superglue. the kit itself is designed very well and with mechanisms to help it withstand the weight of the wings. that said you'll want a base to help get more poses out of it. the funnels are detachable, but they are basically C clips. they slot on but dont really look well enough for display outside being stored.

first thing i wanna say is if you get this kit, i HIGHLY recommend getting an action base to go with it. this one had issues with its hip joints not being able to properly bear its own weight in most poses and the torso to waist connection is a bit weak. those two points aside its a wonderful kit, very heavy on CC stickers (mostly the red on the wings) but if you plan to paint this theres no real issue. this kit is a partsformation kit, meaning you swap out parts to go between mobile suit and wave rider modes. the majority of the armor for the torso is designed to be removable along with the backskirt and side skirt along with the arms, legs and backpack.

was a kinda fun kit, some fairly old techniques used and the front skit armor while separate by design, is pretty floppy. aside swapping out the V fin, it does not require additional parts to swap between MS mode and flight mode. but because it is this transformable, it suffers in the posability department. the knees will bend to about 90°, the arms can only hold the rifle on the side of the arm, there is no neck. the arms also have limited movement due to its 90° elbows, double jointed shoulders and the shoulder units, i cannot get mine to sit still while attached to its included base due to the port being on a hinge with no support i saw. all that said it does include some color correcting stickers and some sticker style decals. the sticker decals look fine on the white but stand out on the dark blue. i did enjoy the fact this is a gaplant model with some modified parts to add on additional skirt armor and weaponry. though at the end of the day it is a pretty old kit with posability problems. i'd say get it if you are a fan of the flag of titans series
