    Hands down the best gunpla Bandai has released since the Sazabi ver. Ka. The engineering and ease of building really makes this RG stand out.

    Found that the Fin Funnels on mine tended to pop off, especially the two inside ones closest to the middle. Ended up gluing those in and displaying the rest using effect parts. Still one of the best kits that I've built of course, though my favorite is probably still the RG Sazabi or MG Dynames.

    My Hi Nu RG is still sitting in my closet, unopened. Looking at how every single TH-camrs has talked about hot thoroughly they enjoyed the build, I’m hesitant to start myself lest it’s over too soon…. I wish you could take apart builds to reexperience the joy of building them again…

    • @nickochioneantony9288
      @nickochioneantony9288 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      in any case it is still in your backlog, i have a tips: be careful with the backpack, it is prone to stressing (the wing binder that has flappy articulation, and the C clip on the fuel tank)... that is universally a problem with the kit, unless if you have some neat tricks in snapfitting.
      sanding the color seperated part on the fin funnel is also mandatory to get a good fitting.
      otherwise it was a great build, spending weekend to finish the whole panel-lining and decal was quite good, just don't rush it, and admire the mechanical detail.

    As late as this review may be, I still eagerly awaited for this considering that it's still relevant to me as I haven't been lucky enough to get my hands on one of these still. Always appreciate how dense with info and relevant details your reviews are, not filled with excessive hyperbole and padded with irrelevant nonsense.
    Seeing this now just further solidifies my desire to get this kit. Really regretting not preordering the moment this was announced, considering it's pretty much expected to be as good as it is now.

When I finally git gud enough at scribing to attempt it, I'm gonna add the RG's panel lines to the ver ka's funnels and paint em up in purple.

    The only thing that really bugs me about this is the gigantic Katoki-style fuel tanks. The manga version and lineart of the fuel tanks are much more like the high grade and the original master grade. It just seems silly that it can't stand up due to how much the gunpla designers oversized these areas to make it more stylized.

      RG Crossbone is in accurate though.... anyway, if you really need that scale accuracy, you can always go for the HG Hi Nu (kinda old).
      and scale inaccuracy isn't only happen in RG, check HG Barbatos Lupus for example, or Strike Freedom... both are taller than their 1/144 scale, but it really doesn't make it a dissapointing kit, it is still really cool and give more shelf presence.
      Bottom line is: why would you choose to be dissapointed by an actual good kit? Bandai certainly has its reason to came with the model... and for me, it is actually fine (I'd be rather dissapointed by color correcting stickers rather than scale)
