Gundam MG 1/100 Blitz "Gundam Seed"

I’ve always wanted a Blitz Gundam with that signature Triceros shield, and this kit delivers beautifully—the molded parts are crisp right out of the box. The detail on the Mirage Colloid system’s plating is sharp, though the gold accents took a bit of steady hand painting. Still, for a 1/100 scale,

The Triceros shield system is the star here – it mounts on the arm solidly and the Mirage Colloid effect parts make the stealth gimmick pop way more than I expected. Panel lining the 1/100 scale frame took an evening, but the finished silhouette is sharp and imposing on the shelf.

The articulation on this 1/100 scale kit is fantastic, and the Triceros shield system locks into place with a satisfying click. It took me a few evenings to build, but the final look with the stealth detailing is just perfect.
