Decided to build this as my first MG kit. It was cool building it, with much of it based upon the RX-78-2 with some more samurai-esque flair to it. The weapons are nice, mixing the wood colored parts and the red, but had the metal coated parts for the blades. It had stickers present for the eyes and color correcting parts for pieces that were supposed to be gold. I just went past that and used metallic markers to correct this. While trying to pose it, the right hand continually popped out and did not want to hold any of the weapons properly. Additionally, the socket that held the left front skirt unit had snapped from minimal movement.

I have built two of these. The kit is fun, with some building processes that are not found on the other HG Zakus. It is good for having a large amount of OYW Zeon weapons and includes plenty of decals. Biggest issues with the kit is the large amount of tiny funnel pieces that will pop off if not glued down (big issue if you have a carpet), and the amount of color correcting stickers. For these stickers, most are just black stickers, but I skipped them and used a metallic black marker for them instead.
