Gundam The Witch from Mercury - Aerial Rebuild #19 1/144 HG

The shell unit’s clear parts catch the light beautifully once assembled, and the articulation in the shoulders lets me pose it mid-battle without any parts popping off. Build took about two evenings, but every joint feels solid when I’m done.

The new mold really shows in the build, everything snaps together with that satisfying HG precision and the shell unit gimmick is way more fun to play with than I expected. Sticker sheet is minimal too, so it looks sharp right out of the box.

The shell unit gimmick on this Aerial Rebuild is incredibly smooth—panels open and close without feeling fragile, and the new mold really shows in the articulation. Build took me about four hours and everything clicked together with zero seam issues.
