This was a cool kit (yes, I'm woefully late to the party, I didn't get this until November 2018). I'm not a fan of how it had to partsform in order to go into Waverider Mode (it's why I ignored the original craptastic HG and the cool HGUC), but I guess that it couldn't be helped; in exchange for the smaller size & partsforming, there's a ton of stability. (Something that the RG kit ain't got *at all*)
Citrus it's so weird, I though Bandai somehow messed the mixture up lol btw I finished my rx78! I messed up a lot (first time using water slides) but I liked how the revive looks with some RG decals imgur.com/a/I1ISqJl
Just to ask, have you painted the wing trim to red? care to share what paint you've used and would appreciate if you share photos or update on this video for paining.
@@citrusjuicebox I see, might go to masking and painting only the trim edges with red gundam marker and on the shield as well. I don't really like the stickers. As you know our world is ravage by this Corona virus, so just want to say thank you for replying and I hope you and your family is doing well.
I just built the RG Zeta, screw that kit. After building transformable kits for the last, 2 I'm done with things that have a corefighter. I do think the RG looks way better than this kit, but you are gonna pay for it with rage.
You can put the grenade packs on the backskirt in waverider mode, adds a little more blue and fills it out I think it looks better personally.
Nice tip! The beam rifle fits there too, which looks way better than putting it on the tail binder.
You always make your kits look incredible! Keep it up :)

Nice review, already know from u if the wings can move backwards tho
This one is a must buy. Glad that zeta finally got decent hg.
U paint so nice with you Gundam markers I can't even make mine look clean
These stickers which are not metallic, get scratched easily on my kits and reveal silver metallic color. Do you have that problem?
Phuc Mai just use top coat it solves the issues on mine
hello i want to ask is a yellow gundam marker close enough to the vent on the shoulder and leg uit
i'm planning on painting these red parts, do you have a recommendation Citrus? there is no Mr Hobby paints here, only Tamiya and Revell
The regular Tamiya red should be fine. I'd lay down gray primer first, which should cover up the black better than white.
Citrus thank you!! I even got some RG decals for him haha
Citrus I was about to start the kit and noticed something, the yellow in my kit is almost orange, in person yours look like that too? hahaha
Yes, there's yellow and orange in this kit. Can't understand why Bandai chose to go this way.

mine have very tight shoulders joints, did you had any breakage or stress in the plastic with your kit?
No, but the shoulder joints are terrifying to move around.
Do you matte coat your kits before reviewing them?
Could pls do the RG Zeta Gundam?
how the sticker?
your review is very detail!!
can you please review the hg gundam astraea?

Stickers!
@@citrusjuicebox thanks, good to hear it is still holding well.
@@JoePark514 Interestingly, some of the color on the edges of my stickers have worn away, but none of them have lifted at all.

@@JoePark514 Thank you, and all the same to you!
at the parts with sticker, did you leave them without topcoat?
thank you
+Hendy Stark Topcoat over the stickers too. Helps the color blend in better.
Why haven't I bought this yet
I just built the RG Zeta, screw that kit. After building transformable kits for the last, 2 I'm done with things that have a corefighter.
I do think the RG looks way better than this kit, but you are gonna pay for it with rage.
Is this kit solid or loose like the realgrade?
Pretty solid, although the chest joints are a little too tight and they feel a bit scary to handle
Good review man!
Your intro is very cute
I have that one
Painting tutorial pls
