Bandai Hobby - Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance - #255 Gundam EX (RFV), Bandai Spirits HG 1/144 Model Kit

Super easy build while mainting the typical Hg sizing and cheap price point for a modern kit. It is a modern kit so cutting the nubs is actually pretty decent and requires little effort to remove any nub marks. I really like the shoulder mounted machine gun and the silicone piece that mimics the feeding belt. This was a kit I did not feel needed more than a matte top coat and panel lining. I recommend top coating then panel lining. I use Sakura pigma markers for this, they have a super fine marker that is like .15mm I believe it should be the 003 marker. This makes it easier to remove any mistakes while panel lining and adds a nice texture making it easier to panel line. Get yourself a Funko pop protector for display and your set. The protector does allow some minor posing, you can get into a shooting pose while keeping your kit protected from dust.

This is definitely one of the most detailed HG gundams on the market. If I didn't know better I would believe that it was a RG. The articulation is very good but not great. Comes with a nice assortment of weapons. Builds similar to a MG (no policaps). Massive opportunity to panel line. It really brings out the detail. And at just over $20 you really cannot beat it. However the Zaku from the same line is just as detailed and amazing. It is black and brown so I used white to panel line and it looks insane! 10/10 would recommend.

This build is the peak of high grade gunpla! The build is insanely detailed, the articulation is fantastic, the detail is mind blowing, and the amount of color separated parts is unsurpassed! If you only ever build one hg gunpla make sure this is it! The only downside is any other hg gunpla will feel a bit disappointing after this one

Beautiful kit, superior details and possibility. Excellent kit for anyone, beginners or pros...

Builds pretty solid, if you use tweezers etc. and know your way around stickers, the ones in this kit are actually very nice, and cut flush to the panels they go on. The multiple tones of white and grey plastic sell the feel of an RG, at an HG price point and skill level. You can snap build this in a few hours or spend a couple nights really cleaning it up to look snazzy. Approachable build for all ages. The feet don't articulate with a toe or anything so I find it likes to fall forward easily but that depends on your pose.

This is only my second-ever kit but I will say that the pieces for the back of the hands pop off pretty easily when trying to place anything in its hands but other than that it was a pretty easy and straightforward build that felt satisfying to complete. The value for the money is pretty good for a HG kit. Color is great but I haven't got to place the stickers as of yet.

Fast shipping and gundam model came out great. I panel lined, top coat, and used the stickers. It’s a great looking kit.

Excellent model! Newer High Grades like this are getting closer and closer to Real Grade in terms of detail while still retaining the easy-to-build nature HGs are known for. It has good articulation and movement, and it's very easy to get that menacing walking pose without worry about it falling over, which gives it a great shelf presence. Definitely make sure you panel line it, though: all of those fine details are lost if you don't.
