RX-78-2 Gundam Master Grade Ver. 3.0

Last year I was given a Bandai Gundam kit, as a thank you for an interview and the work I did for a documentary for Japanese TV (on North Korea).
I never got into the Gundam anime show, but this was a neat gift and I was curious what it would be like to build. I spent a week with my father around Christmas. I took the kit with me and we ended up builing it together. He removed most of the parts from the sprues and I did most of the assembly and added the stickers.
I am impressed by the look of the model, even built straight out of the box with no painting or panel lining. It is beautifully engineered, with a lot of moving parts and poseability. I have only two minor criticisms: the wings on the Core Fighter are impossibly flimsy and, when removing some of the stickers from their sheet, part of the backing paper also came away. I was glad I bought a little tool kit with pliers, tweezers and different grades of polishing materiel.
All in all, it was fun, certainly working together.
