The king of all Real Grade Gunpla, the Hi-v (pronounced "high nu") Gundam! Working on this kit has been fantastic. The quality and build experience were truly amazing in ever aspect. The color separations were flawless and had an amazing level of detail that tests the limits of a 1/144 scale Gunpla.
I've started working on this kit little over a year ago and I finally completed it recently. It really shouldn't have taken this long but life has been quite busy so it took much longer than it should have (really should have taken about 3 months).
It's been a slow process but it was really fun watching it come together piece by piece.
Though I did enjoy the process, the sheer amount of pieces in this kit was staggering. I might take a long break from doing another RG kit for a while.
It was quite amazing though that I still managed to maintain this level of articulation even after painting. This is truly the power of Bandai engineering!
And as with every version and variation of the v (nu) Gundam, the most painful part is the funnels. There are 6 of them with 2 identical parts to each funnel. Everything from sanding to painting really tested my patience.
In any case, please enjoy the full album in the link below and the youtube video on the bottom of the album.
