Looks and Feels
This kit a very nice. The price of 4200 Yen is pretty value for money due to the Assault Shroud :) Same as the rest of new SEED kit, parts separation and detailing are excellent.
The decals are in the right amount to improve the impression of the kit by a good deal ;)
Same comment as my earlier review on Blitz Gundam and Buster Gundam, I'm giving this kit 100/100! I love this kit a lot! If you are a SEED fan, this kit is a must have!
