HG 1/144 00Qan[T]

I've actually finished this kit a few months back. I just found these in my camera's files when I was going to delete unwanted photos to clear up some memory space. So here are some photos of it.

Speaking of the SD 00 Raiser in my previous post, here are some images of it. It was given to me as a gift from my parents during their trip to Singapore last November and was completed last December. Note that this is fully painted.











 



















































Overall a great SD kit, mostly because of how awesome it looks posed. Though as much as I liked the kit, there are things that I just couldn't stand. First was Bandai's decision to put the GN Sword II's blades on the grey colored plate; why not add it to the plate with the white pieces. Second, the O Raiser's main fuselage can easily pop off from the back of the 00 and its tail falls off from that position as well 9/10 times. Third, are the GN Sword II's in rifle mode, there are no problems posing it in sword mode but posing for it in rifle mode is a pain because of the handles used in sword mode; though I can for give the one equipped in the right hand, as seen above, but not the one with the connector. That part of the handle is what hinders the 00 Gundam from wielding it properly in rifle mode. Lastly are the shoulder joints. Due to the added weight of the binders, the arms have the tendency to pop-off. It being an SD, it's a given that a major disappointment is that it needs a lot of painting. As for why I liked this kit, the photos will answer the question.
