Build this using a thicker marker than usual. You might see that some panel line are too thick.
I have to say, this kit's built is a bit simpler compared to the previous two RG. There are still variations of the colors (3 types of white & 2 type of red, but only 1 tyype of blue), but the placement of the colors aren't as... "aggressive", if I might put it, compared to the RG RX-78-2 and the RG Zaku. Because of that and how the connection parts are designed this time, the whole kit become much more stable than the previous two RGs.
The loose skirts, an issue both the RX & Zaku had, were dealt by making the connector from the skirts to the waist longer. The kit's stability is also better compared to RG RX and RG Zaku, wherein RG RX and RG Zaku would definitely fall to the ground with a single flick, RG Strike can still stand still even after a little push (although my built isn't really finished). This is probably because of the longer feet design compared to the RX-78-2 & Zaku's feet design, but this is definitely needed because of the Aile pack (I'm pretty sure that the "won't fall in a single flick" would no longer be valid when the Strike equips the Aile pack hahaha).
I'm really eager in continuing building this kit. But due to the time constraints because of my interim work, I'm probably can only continue building this Saturday.
