After hardly even using it, the top has popped off and upon inspection, the top is just held by some sort of super glue. The turning wheel is right next to the diameter adjustment wheel and makes it uncomfortable trying to adjust the size. Also, the size isn't accurate to what you're adjusted to. The slot for the blade part is slightly wider than the actual blade so there's some wiggle making for inaccurate cuts.

My usual way of separating parts is by prying the pieces apart with my dull hobby knife. Sometimes I risk damaging parts with the sharp edge of the knife and can be uncomfortable prying the pieces apart with a very thin blade. I've also had bandai's plastic separator but that thing dulled out and warped by the end of the kit I was working on. But with this neat little tool, it makes separating a breeze. The blade part is sharp, but is not sharp enough to cut you (unless used with excessive force; be careful) and is very sturdy. It feels comfortable in my hands and makes prying pieces apart very easy. My favorite feature is that it acts as a switch blade. With a press of the button, the blade pops out and will stay out. So no worries about pushing the blade back in when using it for what it's intended for. Pressing the button will release that lock allowing you to push it back in. However, I do question the quality of the switch blade feature. Even if it fails at some point, I'd buy another because this thing is so useful.

For an HG, this kit is pretty solid and can nearly pass as an RG. It was an absolute pleasure to build and customize

I mainly got this .2 airbrush for doing shading for 1/144 kits since my .3 from Master Airbrush is difficult to get in close for finer details.

I love this thing, I actually have 2 now. The other is still in the backlog. But omg, the build was very pleasurable and fun, I can't wait to build and paint it again. Definitely pay attention the waist like others have mentioned and you'll have yourself a solid kit.

I was extremely skeptical on buying this kit. But after building it, it proved to be the most amazing kit ever. 10 outta 10 would recommend

This kit was an absolute pleasure to build. But then again, this is a very biased review because the mk II has always been my favorite design.

Don't let my 2 star review discourage you from getting this. I'm giving the build experience a 2 star while the finished product appearance is easily a 5 star. As a beginner, the building of this is quite painful. Had to strip nearly every single peg and slot just to get things to fit and snap together. I actually didn't know any better and bought this on a whim without reading the description because o always wanted a Wing Zero Custom and it was like the only MG of it I could find. I actually broke a piece on the chest and had to superglue the whole piece onto the chest. Even though I find the building experience quite painful, I thought of this as a way to test my mettle and tested it it sure did.

I'm a rookie with an airbrush kit/booth with some intermediate tools working on my first resin conversion kit. I'd have to say, you're gonna need a lot of patience to finish it.
