If applied properly the ones for the eyes (placement obvious) will look fine in the recess on the kit’s face but the others will look bad due to the thickness. No decals come with the kit, only thick stickers and the instructions are not too clear on where they go. The kit looks like it assembles easily and smoothly and the polycaps will make the model pretty poseable for dioramas (or if you just like to play with your Gundams). Detail is very nice for the scale and panel lines are engraved. The parts are all molded in the proper color (the A tree is in that Japanese multicolor style which always makes this simple boy go oooooh and ahhhhhhh) so if you really don’t want to paint, you still have a properly colored finished model. The parts are perfect, clean with no flash or sinkholes and all ejector pin marks inside where they will not be seen.

The channels were deep enough for most of the panels and only some were shallow. Used a mix of pencil and gundam marker to panel line. Went with some of the stickers and opted out using the dry transfer as I felt too lazy. There weren’t any difficulty while building this master grade, everything was pretty smooth sailing. There’s also the orange and militaristic green, which totally shows that it’s not a typical mobile suit. The white used on this kit isn’t exactly the normal white that we’re used to with the main suits. The build was pretty fun! A different experience compared to the usual “hero” units.
