Love the pump action shot gun.
These minor alterations are somewhat unnecessary. They don't look particularly nice compared to the AEUG version, and they are pretty much non-functional either.


Added on February 28, 2012, 1:59 pmMG Duel's review up now at dalong.net
http://dalong.net/review/mg/m151/m151_p.htm

I'm surprised that it only got 98 points when most of the recent MGs tend to exceed 100.

It is indeed an awesome looking MG, yet somehow I don't like the fact that they deviated quite far away from the original Duel design.

Certain changes are good, such as the redesigned turrent cannon which can be held in the hand, the shoulder design which resembles the Strike's frame more, and of course sleeker proportions in particularly the chunkier-looking leg armours.

However some things shouldn't have been messed around, in particular the Assaultshroud's shoulder armour parts, the barrel of the rifle which now looks so skinny compared to the original large bore, the unnecessary and awkwardly-placed smoke grenades (??actually what are they??) on the top tail fin, and the additional ankle guards. The Duel's attraction is its simplicity and basic design - those ankle guards are redundant in stock mode.

It's still a very sweet-looking kit, but I'm gonna give it a miss. Save 4200 yen whistling.gif

I guess it follows Regen Duel's design, where the shoulder railgun become handheld.

Most probably signal flares instead of smoke grenades. To be used when communication jamming is in progress.

I noticed MG is smaller than its 1/100 NG counterpart

Well, it certainly looks more refined and detailed than the NG and it does seem that Bandai tried to make it very much less bulky. Not sure if I agree with that approach though.

Usual Bandai gimmick.

Then again, you probably would have quite a lot of spare beam sabres lying around that you can use with the Heavyarms.

yup. whole thing is fully painted, including the eyes (tho not visible) and the camera sensors on the head.

nope. i got too frustrated with the fragility of the kit, especially the legs and torso, so i glued it all in. result is an amazingly sturdy kit. except for poor balance. and it seems to be lopsided to the left sweat.gif

Hmmm guys, need a rather quick opinion since I decided to get back into Gunplaing. Between the Duel AS or Strike IWSP, which is considered better (both MGs)?
