here to share my 2nd kit done in 2005.
Ok, first let me intro about this kits:
it is a upgraded fire power of EX-S, eliminating the transformable system to for lower body load (all wing have been eliminated). then replace the waist beam cannon with twin booster and add 2 propellant tanks to increase the speed and accerelation.
so it will become an assault/defend type MS, with high speed and great fire power. For assault, it attack deep into the enemy troops, destrop target(s) and retreat. for defends, the massive missle systems can easily eliminate incoming troops of MS and the Hyper Mega Cannon is a anti fleet medium long range weapon.
here is the japanese version of the background story (those who know japanese better pls help to check if i said anything wrong :shy: ):

ok here are the photo. please give your comments so i can improve. sure u can find a lot of defects and uncompleting works coz i really rushed to submit this kit for the competition. a lot of my first try in this kits like applying water decals(i screwed up this due to didn't spray the clear coat to protect it.)
maybe later i might retouch the kit again. thx!!

This is how the original snap fit kit look like:

I dun like the proportion of the head and shoulders, so the major mod are size down the head and enlarge the shoulders. others are details up, sharpen the face, vent, customized mega cannon, add missile pods, side thrusters, propellant tanks.
