Bandai HG 1/144 Mobile Suit Gundam The Witch of Mercury LFRITH Model Kit

This was my first foray into "Gunpla" - I am an experienced model builder and decided to try one, because who doesn't like giant fighting mechs? If you're used to Airfix or Citadel kits, this is a breath of fresh air - the sprues are precisely made (in multiple colours - this was new to me!) and are easily snipped off, requiring minimal filing. And although I did use glue for some parts (knee and thigh boosters which are a little loose), it is not really needed. Some stickers are provided for detailing the eyes/sensors and chest piece - though this kit comes with a pre-decorated chest piece as well. Most of the stickers are tiny, so some tweezers are essential to position them well as you won't get much of a second chance. The finished model looks great if you want a clean look, I have painted weathering/damage/mud on mine as well as added some extra details like shoulder lights not covered by the sprues or stickers, but this is entirely optional. It is easy to pose so there are all sorts of nice dramatic displays you could make. Everything can still come apart so perhaps not ideal for children. The price is good, below what I would expect from a similar Airfix or Revel model and way cheaper than Citadel/Games Workshop offerings.

Amazing Kit, feels higher quality than most High Grade Kits, Assembly took about an hour so definitely a good activity to pass time and overall not too expensive either.

Awesome set, simple to build but lots of options for builds and stances

My son really wanted this to build on his gundam collection. He seems very happy with it. He expressed the built and quality was good. Similar but cheaper than warhammer. Would buy again.

Item matches the description, beautiful piece

They are always good

Son loved it!
