For Hasegawa kit or any traditional model. You usually assemble and paint at the same time. (Example of this is you need to detail the cockpit before you close the fuselage and mask the canopy).

Dry fitting is usual for new modeller not used to it but veteran modeller can plan ahead and do it.

Color separation is done via decals but one may opt to do masking.

It is very different with Gundam kits but it is overall a nice experience

Is it really out of scale? Old kits are notorious to be out of scale.

Haha, i actually made the same mistake on calling it 2.0. But yeah, it never had any MG before, similar to Providence. It is the first MG of the suit.

yes, these are model kits boxes. I really dont get the attention everyone is giving on that limited box.

when you expect a solid RG sinanju and you got a floppy mess
then you expect a floppy RG Unicorn and you got a solid kit.

Bandai really like to throw around your expectations (though they really made sure not to flop Unicorn since it has so many potential p-bandai releases)

You missed ver. GFT when the 1:1 unicorn is complete

Samuel decal was in-used before when there were no DL decals in circulation. Modellers now when they mention third party WSD, it means DL or third-party Generic Japanese marking. They are generally better. I dont know why Bandai have poor WSD, china has been churning out good quality decals recently. Other Japanese brands have good in-box WSD (Hasegawa for example) and some third party Japanese brands also produce quality decals that wont get destroyed if you move it.

the one sided blade design actually works that is why China has been copying the design as well. Unfortunately, the price of Godhand before is acceptable but right now, even without mark up, it is really expensive.

I have bought mine 4 years ago and the price has increase at least 50% today. The design works in a way that it cuts very clean and there is little to no stress marks. The single blade design motion is similar to you cutting a plastic with hobby knife. Stress marks happen when the plastic is pulled when two blade is crushing the plastic (more so if the blade has been used for some time).

imo, they are getting better with the lighting. Hot spot are controlled and lights in general, are better diffused than the unicorn.

Proportion are weird (but i have the same opinion with other PG) but it might look better seeing in front of you like any other PGs
