BANDAIHobby RG #24 Gold Frame Amatsu Mina Gundam Seed Astray Model Kit (1/144 Scale)

Fine specimen of an object delightful to have assuming what you get from it . specialty was it came in pretty quick for delivery.best toy well invested opportunity to spec your interest in .devoting hope at its finest for all ages definitely recommended .

As real grades go, this is by far my favorite of the ones I have built, the black and gold mesh perfectly together and the hints of red don’t detract from the overall look like it has with other kits, the wings are awesome to play around with and overall the build is very solid.As to be said though, this is NOT a kit for beginners, but that goes with any real grade, as it uses much smaller and more detailed parts

Good item, looks better than the hg

This one is somewhat pre-built on the frame unlike the unicorn RGs. Overall that meant less assembly which is not what I was looking for in an RG but is more approachable and less of a time sink if you like that. The glossy black would look nice except that many of the clipping points are exposed and stand out way more than usual. I'm not opposed to putting in extra work for extra beauty but this isn't a matter of filing (which dulls the sheen) like non-glossy plastic, and touch up painting is tough without priming the whole thing. The gold and yellow are not great looking, I've seen better gold plastic elsewhere.I recommend washing, priming, and painting with custom colors to have something personal without the blemishes.Oh and the loadout is pretty meh. At first I thought it looked cool but the claw is unfeasibly short and leaves a fist just not doing anything. Staff is nice, backpack doesn't move quite as much as I hoped but is still impressive looking. Left shoulder is sad imo.My pros are that it's much sturdier than the unicorn. It all holds up to poses without hitting itself, no loose joints or falling off parts. It looks good under my Banshee (being a bit smaller).

a few pieces didn't want to stay on and the kit had a little trouble standing but i made it work. most of my other kits at the time were bright colors so this one stood out and looked great on the shelf.

Solid build, great accessories. I've built a lot of real grades so I had the patience to put on the stickers which will need cutting in order to fit well and prevent peeling. The worst is stickers on non smooth such as those in the hamstring area since these will likely peel in the future. I'm glad newer real grades are less likely to fall apart.

Really good quality and easy to follow directions

Nice
