Bandai MG Hi-Nu Gundam (w/ Picture)

With the help from my friend, I was able to take some photos of the model kit that I did, which I put them under my own code "Hobby Phase 3", which I'll explain after I put up all the photos first. Here are some photos of this Bandai MG 1/100 Hi-Nu Gundam that I did early last year.

This kit is quite sturdy, but when the fin funnel are installed, it can become quite hard to balance because for some reason the pelvis joint is a bit lose. Then, the tight-knee moving mechanism on the left leg cannot be done smoothly because I broke the holding part of the inner piston that would hold the piston from coming out from the piston container on the tight. Finally, the fin funnel connector at the back, the one inside the fin funnel carrier is very loose. The reason is because the plastic nut that connects the fjn funnel connector is slowly tearing apart, thus making the connector not able to stay put at a position. I only knew about this after I snapped and glued and colored the carrier.

Still, I'm satisfy with this kit because it looks great.
