It gets better as things progress, but there are other annoyances like on the legs where you assemble the thigh and knee, connected to the torso via the wiring harness, but with no mechanical connection until you add the outer armor a few steps later. The cage also moves forward and back to give different display options with how you mount the kit's stand. First being that the cable management device acts like a spool, so you can spin it and wind up/unwind the cable. To nicely complete a level 2 kit, you will want to have a pair of plastic nippers for cutting parts from the runners, and a fine file, sandpaper or hobby knife for cleaning the gates. These lines indicate where to fold, single and double stroke marks depending on the desired direction.

The forearm is designed so that the insertion part of the shield shaft emits light, so if you connect the shield, the psycho frame of the shield will also emit light. The armaments can be equipped based on your preferences, but please be careful since certain parts can break easily during the process. Push the button a fourth time and you get the whole process from start to finish over the course of a few minutes.

This change of methodology, driven in part by the lack of transformation gimmick to work around, is why I contend that the PG Exia is one of - if not the - best PG kit. The white edges of the shield’s pyscho-frame are now connected directly on the end, no visible connection pieces showing through. Examples of kits in this class would include resin and metal kits of racing cars and ships, accessory parts for such kits, and advanced, posable resin kits of science-fiction items. I've painted so many I'm not sure what else I can do to give this a 'traditional' look without just ripping myself off.

It is built upon many of the lessons learned since the first Unicorn kit was released, and the lessons learned over a decade of general model craft. Ka is a 1/100 scale model kit of the main character “RX-0 Unicorn Gundam” that appears in “Mobile Suit Gundam UC”.

As with everything else the base is a nice evolution of the PG/RG TWC, combining a hidden power brick with the MS cage originally released in 2010.

If you do that you can’t see the shields (when the hanger bits are on), they stick out the back in an ugly fashion, and the cable connections don’t even line up as if they would for a proper permanent display. Blade Antennas on the upper surface and oval-shaped details have been added to give it a dense design.There are new water slide decals, a new MS cage, three shields, 6 beam gatling guns, beam magnum, hyper bazooka, and 4 beam sabre blades included making this the most well-rounded rendition of the Unicorn Gundam available in 1/100 scale!

The name Gunpla derives from the phrase “Gundam plastic model”, since most kits are made of plastic. For the most part the sands do a good job holding up the shields, but when equipped with the gatling guns, it's essential to make sure the center of gravity is directly over the center of the base. Kits rated as skill level 3 are traditional model kits that require all basic modeling skills to complete. For the most part the crystal clear parts are used to move light around the internal workings, while the frosted ones are exposed.This makes it a thousand times easier to connect/disconnect the kit as testing throughout ensures you don’t build it only to find something completely messed up.
