Gundam MG 1/100 Gundam Virtue

The chunky armored shell pops off to reveal the detailed inner frame underneath, which makes posing it feel like a real transformation sequence. Assembly took me a few evenings, but the proportions are spot-on and it looks fantastic next to my other 1/100 kits.

The inner frame detail is impressive, especially once you pop off the armor plates to reveal the hidden GN Cannons. Took me about four evenings to build, but the articulation in the shoulders makes posing it totally worth it.

The GN Drive gimmick on this Virtue actually works smoothly, and the re-proportioned joints make it look less bulky than I expected. Only wish the armor parts clicked on a little more securely during assembly.
