@EN KVN Then yours is built wrong. It is part V11 from the Sword/Launcher Strike kit. It is the same runner that came with the MG Perfect Strike. So...yeah.
Honestly the Duel is probably more closer to the granddaddy Gundam than the Alie strike in terms of load out. The Aile strike is more of an F90 than a RX 78-2
SEED wasn't meant to be 100% remake of Gundam so it's understandable why they didn't make Duel as the lead machine despite yes, the Duel is closer to the Granddaddy. Not to mention that Strike would still have taken the spotlight even if Duel become the lead and that would not be good.
Yzak: I hate normal people! Athrun: I hate normal people and my childhood friend. Dearka: I hate normal people, but that girl looks pretty. Nicol: I like playing the piano. *dies horribly*
the MG kits do, but the actual in show Okawara designs don't. that's why compared to the lineart and previous kits the other 4 resemble the Strike since they fudged it. The Duel and Blitz really show this, compared to the old kits the Duel's shoulder elongates downward and thinner, where as the MG is shaped more like a bulky Strike shoulder. The Blitz's gained the round part of the Strike's shoulder where it originally has a different shape.
The frames were designed together but different I think,like how the aegis Gundam’s X-300 frame is transformible and the rest are slightly different, serving different purposes.

The frame situation is referenced in the model number, Duel, Buster and Strike are X102, X103 and X105 respectively, build on the X100 frame, Blitz is X207, on the specialty equipment equipment type X200 frame, and Aegis is X303 on the Transforming X300 frame
Thank you for finally reviewing my favorite Gundam from Seed. It looks awesome unarmored and armored. Duel Gundam is also pretty much the Grandaddy of the Cosmic Era being the first Gundam ever made not to mention the Yazak got 2 Gundam kills with this suit. I wish he kept it and upgraded it for Destint rather then getting a Zaku Warrior.
well, the Seed Destiny writers are a bunch of massive tits, so you got that pathetic Zaku Warrior and whatever cameo Yzak and Dearka got. Yzak is my fave character there you know, but like I said, Seed Destiny was a terrible sequel, lots of fans would refuse to call it canon.
I think if Kira had gotten the Duel instead of the Strike we would have gotten a sort of Liger Zero thing going on. the Assault Shroud would have been his main combat set up but he would have had space flight set up with lots of thrusters and RCS jets, switched out with a flight mode one that has wings like the ail striker pack.
@@jakstrieder This is actually not true. The Assault Shroud was based on the Ginn's Assault Shroud. It would later be copied by the Earth Alliance for the mass production equivalents of the Duel in the Long Dagger and Duel Dagger's Fortestra, however.
@@RiderOmega as the commenter before you pointed out Z.A.F.T. only made the shroud, the design was With the gundam when they toke it, my guess is that it was meant to be built at the base where they were being taken too when the Z.A.F.T. assault toke place. besides it's just a fun What If ideal, I really don't care about what details are right or wrong, Watching the anime I seen that there could have been such a chance had they just had the gundams been in different places.
I never wanna hear you say Everyone: I want it that away Jake:Chills literal chills Victim: It was number 5 number 5 killed my brother Jake:I completely forgot about that
Not mentioned, the Shiva railgun on the shoulder can be detached, and has a flip out grip so it can be used as a handheld weapon too. Love this kit, one of the best in my collection.
The shear number of GM and Zaku kits have a ton of customization options, but your point stands. However, I put the regular ZZ Gundam head on my FAZZ. It looks much better, IMO (plus it gets a actual High Mega Cannon this way!). I did steal the extra V-fin from the ZZ though, so I did need two kits to do it.
I just got this kit today..im so excited to build it..i know its been a decade.ive been looking for tbis kit on various store.gladly i got my hands on it
So I want to update about the assault shroud front skirt. It will require some modifications but nothing dramatic. So inside the shroud skirts there are two pieces inside are preventing giving the pegs enough clearance for a tight fit. You need to file it down until you can stick it on.
Fun fact : The Astray Gold Frame (before modified into Amatsu type), has the same Gaebold Railgun Bazooka, the same arm that use the weapon got destroyed due to the short circuit after using it once.
between the arms and the chest armor added from the Assault Shroud, a bit of a recolor would make this thing look like a Gundam version of Fall of Cybertron Optimus Prime
Your ad spots are so funny I'd literally watch them as their own videos. Same with a lot of your sillier content... Honestly if you made a channel just with silly skits using model kits and action figures I'd subscribe instantly.
The gray part is is an extension piece to attach the shoulder parts of the launcher strike of the older MG strike. Also the gun of the duel is missing that tiny piece that covers its lense.
well the Duel Gundam is the RX-78-2 granddaddy equivalent of the Cosmic Era universe, being the first Gundam created in-universe which is reflected with its basic armaments which mirrors the RX-78-2.
I bought this a month ago, because of some review on youtube ... and the naked version make me fall in love instantly ... until now the kit still stand in front of my monitor without assault shroud attached ...
Just picked this kit up and am looking forward to building it from all the reviews I've seen. Also just got the MG Aile Strike in today and thinking of getting that MG Buster as well, but my fiance would probably kill me if I keep buying them like I have been as of late.
My first MG actualy, this kit made me start my MG adiction... it's so damn solid (without the fxking skirt that would never stay on whatever you do, might glue it on one day). For someone who had previously only build RG and HG that was life changing
In my monthish of "isolation" I have built and fully detailed the HG RX-78-2 revive, HG Zeta revive, HG The O, HG GM Striker, and I'm halfway finished with the MG Freedom 2.0. I sorta feel sorry for those who say they have cabin fever and they have no clue about Gunpla, because it is the cure for boredom.
I really wish these Bandai kits also did things like Macross/ Macross2 /Super Dimension Cavalry Southern Cross/ Genesis Climber MOSPEADA. As much as I love Gundam and how fun they are to assemble with no glue needed, I would love to see a 1/144 - 1/100 of the above mentioned Animes.
Hi, i owned the duel and i had to glue the 2 original front skirts in place, that makes attatching front armor skirts very easy and they stay on securely.
For anyone who may not know, the Gae Buld Rail Bazooka was originally a part of the Duel Gundam's armaments, only it was stored elsewhere. When the Astray Gold Frame was stolen, the pilot took it and used it with the Gold Frame, which is why the Duel Gundam never had it
Agreed. I like the blue and orange as complementary colors, but they need shifted just a bit. Light blue needs to be lighter and greyer, and orange needs to be more orangey.
Thanks for the review, really need to pick this guy up again some time. Had it years ago when I was new to the hobby and ruined it with terrible painting. I see you lost the lense cover for the beam rifle as well. You also forgot to mention that the rail gun has a handle too so it can hold it in the hands as well.
I was about to build this kit. thanks for the great insight and review Mecha Gaikotsu!!! I will enjoy building this. P.S. The Duel was also last of the GAT boys that I did obtain too.

I like both evenly, so when things cool down, and HLJ's shipping services are back to normal, I'll be buying 2. That way I can have with and one without the assault shroud.
The gun metal part is from the Launcher Strike's shoulder cannon.
Troy Buttke nice amount of likes bruh
That was my assumption as well.
Since the rm version also comes with the extended battery pack for the perfect strike loadout.
@EN KVN Then yours is built wrong. It is part V11 from the Sword/Launcher Strike kit. It is the same runner that came with the MG Perfect Strike. So...yeah.
@@RedCometNurse Wow you're the MVP! xD
Doggo’s bank account is safe now
*everyone likes that*
Until a new gunpla comes out
Honestly the Duel is probably more closer to the granddaddy Gundam than the Alie strike in terms of load out. The Aile strike is more of an F90 than a RX 78-2
The assault shroud is literally a direct reference to the orignal FA Grandaddy (Green Armor)
It is considering it is bare basic compared to strike which is accompanied with backpack system.
Duel *is* the first Gundam made from the 5
SEED wasn't meant to be 100% remake of Gundam so it's understandable why they didn't make Duel as the lead machine despite yes, the Duel is closer to the Granddaddy. Not to mention that Strike would still have taken the spotlight even if Duel become the lead and that would not be good.
Exactly. The G3 vibe. Also even has the bazooka.

That’s actually a really cool concept for an alternate storyline. Armors instead of striker packs.
IIrc, Z.A.F.T. were the ones who made the assault shroud.

Man, 2012-2015 is like the golden age of MG. So many kits, such high quality design and build. Hope Bandai makes a return soon.
I wouldn't mind giving that doggo some of my money

I was thinking of getting another kit but didn’t know what to get, this video helped a lot.
I’ve built one of these and it was my first ever mg as well my first model kit. It was fun to make.
"gitty gitty goo" never gets old
The shear number of GM and Zaku kits have a ton of customization options, but your point stands.

I just finished my MG Buster Gundam, curiously this one is on my bucket list.
seed kit is probably the most versatile, sturdy and really cool
Had the Perfect Strike, Duel, and Aegis. I should probably buy the Buster and Blitz to complete the GAT-X project
About to order Duel. Then Blitz....eventually. Buster and Striker with IWSP are on my shelf.
That set up of all your GM's is... Beautiful 😍😍

It was my second mg. My first was the strike lol.
@@idk_anymore_01 do you think I should get more seed kits
@Sav90.20 Yes. Mostly because I'm biased towards seed.
Finally reviewing that Duel Assault Shroud eh? Bout time.
"BEAUTIFUL SPREAD"
“SWIVEl HERE”
@@muchramen1009 BALLJOINTS HERE!
When u finally find those jobbythehong fans in another channel the swivels are taking over
I love the design and the color separation
Damn, an ad with doggos, now I have to buy.
With the duel blitz appearance in Seed Freedom, I think Bandai may release a “blitz assault shroud” expansion kit for mg duel as p-bandai
Been collecting all this Seed kit. for all my years of gunpla. Seed kit is the most enjoyable build, simple,beautiful and really sturdy.
Duel Gundam's design with Assaul Shroud is resemblances for Tokusatsu Metal Heroes or Bulky-like Armored Thunder Gridman
between the arms and the chest armor added from the Assault Shroud, a bit of a recolor would make this thing look like a Gundam version of Fall of Cybertron Optimus Prime
0:51 best commercial i've seen to date
I really love how are you review gundam kits
Because of you mecha gaikotsu, i start buying gundam kits ❤️
Another nice review mecha!
The quality of your vids is getting higher and higher
that SPECIFIC feeling when you know that robot looks great:
Now I realize why I really into duel and re-gz, the colors scheme. Thanks for the mention
"MM, That's a nice robot."
I fucking love Mecha Gaikotsu. great fucking voice and commentary on this shit. makes me laugh every video
13:48 caution, easy to lose part. there is a very tiny scope cover being held, more or less, by friction.
I bought that kit and painted it in Full Armor Gundam Thunderbolt ver colors. It was a gift for a very good friend of mine for their birthday
I noticed the right shoulder armor is missing as well as the beam rifle’s lens cover
Providence is such a macho gundam.
Nice review! I'm getting this one as my first MG, thanks for the review!
I'm getting this too 2nd kit in 2021

I like how the armor looks @Mecha Gaikotsu and has some nice panel lines.
What a surprise, as soon as I started building mine you released this video
The gray part is is an extension piece to attach the shoulder parts of the launcher strike of the older MG strike. Also the gun of the duel is missing that tiny piece that covers its lense.

The piece in the shoulder armour of the Strike was for mounting the Launcher Striker shoulder vulcan
Loved the Gundam OS edit!
Just got myself some HG Alus Earthree Gundam. It's a head taller than Earthree Gundam and it has a waist joint.
I just wanna say that Mecha went off the deep end with ads recently and that's incredible
Lets see the MG Strike Rouge soon!
One of the best MG Seed kits. If I remember it correctly, the railgun can be dettached and used as an extra beam rifle.
My first MG actualy, this kit made me start my MG adiction... it's so damn solid (without the fxking skirt that would never stay on whatever you do, might glue it on one day). For someone who had previously only build RG and HG that was life changing
You can use a clear nail polish on the pegs on the front/back armor so they don't fall as much.
honestly, the ad is more entertaining than the review itself
In my monthish of "isolation" I have built and fully detailed the HG RX-78-2 revive, HG Zeta revive, HG The O, HG GM Striker, and I'm halfway finished with the MG Freedom 2.0.

WOOO MECHA PLAYED METAL GEAR
Just to correct you it has a ab crunch but it’s really tight it’s in the same spot as the side to side rocking joint you have to line it up
The piece in the shoulder is for attaching the shoulder weapons from the launcher pack.
I swapped the back frame, backpack and knee armour of the duel with my strike to make a "standard" style gundam with a sword impulse color scheme
Hi, i owned the duel and i had to glue the 2 original front skirts in place, that makes attatching front armor skirts very easy and they stay on securely.
You can also take the shoulder rifle and use it in a hand with its flip out handle.

I always love all gundam seed model 😊
It looks better with all the armor. I do like the color but to me I would probably paint some parts with a darker orange.
Agreed. I like the blue and orange as complementary colors, but they need shifted just a bit. Light blue needs to be lighter and greyer, and orange needs to be more orangey.
As I type this, I have this model kit half built in front of me
I still can't believe that bandai didn't make a MG Blu Duel based on this
It's P-Bandai i think, also released with both Verde Buster and Strike Noir. I hope MG Stargazer is only to be a regular kit.
Thanks for the review, really need to pick this guy up again some time. Had it years ago when I was new to the hobby and ruined it with terrible painting. I see you lost the lense cover for the beam rifle as well. You also forgot to mention that the rail gun has a handle too so it can hold it in the hands as well.
Does anyone else gets the feeling like this is “war machine” from marvel vibe, DoEs AnYoNe ELsE????🤔
No
War Machine is the "Full Armor" version of Iron Man and since the Duel is the FA of CE, that's to be expected.
But who is iron man tho?
HybrydATP64 iron man is puny war machine
@@HybrydATP64 wait fr? You dumb bro?
Honestly, I'd say that's it's more like a prototype to the Stark Jegan more than anything.
You missed something with the weapons: the Shiva railgun can be detached and handheld.
One of the most underrated gundams in seed.
Best ads ! Great job on the creativity
Thankyou for the review.This is the only Gat Boys i'm lacking.
I did a kit bash with my dual, build strike and exia and it looks amazing
The duel gundam kit does look so cool even with or with out the assault shroud
I was about to build this kit. thanks for the great insight and review Mecha Gaikotsu!!! I will enjoy building this.

Usually there is a space behind where the clear pat goes, and you put the sticker there
