Completed the F2...


Quick reviews:
HGUC Zaku F2:» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
Yeahs:1. Very high quality plastic, very sturdy kit for a 1/144. Not even once did I feel like I would accidentally break something, unlike the HG Arios which I broke the mouth piece just from cutting it out from the tree. (HG OO series are really tiny and fragile)
2. Spot on proportions. Colours are sweet too, not too dark nor too light.
3. Lots of stickers... the leftovers can be used with other kits.
4. Two rifles to choose from. The grenade pack is a nice addition.
5. Awesome swivel shoulders that makes posing much easier.
6. Longer male connector for the commander antenna means it won't dislodge so easily like the MG Zaku ver2.0's.
Mehs:1. Only one trigger fist... My advice for those who are buying this kit is use it for the 90mm machine gun as its compact size makes it easier to pose with. I shaved the trigger and handle of the 120mm rifle so that it can be used with the normal closed fist instead of needing to swap pieces which one may potentially break a connector.
2. No bazooka !! How can a Zaku not come with a bazooka?
3. It makes you want to buy both the Zeon and EFSF versions for completion. And the GP02 to go with it.
HGUC Char's Zgok:» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
Yeahs:1. It's mean, it's red... It's a CHAR.
2. Very cheap kit... 700 yen only... great fun, and can be completed very quickly (snap-fit + minor touchups of course)
3. Fairly good articulation for a simple kit. Awesome poses are not a problem.
Mehs:1. No decals... damn kiamsiap.
2. Non-moving monoeye. It's just a pink sticker and once you apply it you can't move it anymore.
3. Being an old HGUC, the quality of the plastic is not as good as recent kits. Joints tend to loosen over time and repeated posing.
