Got this thinking it was an HG kit, and opaque (Amazon seller had an incorrect listing.) Turns out it’s not HG. Reminds me of the couple of no grades I’ve got.

Overall cool, and only one unused piece, but hard to keep the legs on. The translucent plastic feels pretty brittle and the stress/sanding marks are seemingly impossible to get out.

If I knew more about the specifics of this kit before buying, I probably wouldn’t have. But I did, I built it, and Domon spent long enough for his brother. No need keeping them apart now!

    Yep, this is definitely back from the no-grade days. I picked it up from PB as an oddity because it was cheap, and if we never get another Devil Gundam, well, it’s fine I guess.

    What did you use for nub cleanup? I’ve got a no-name glass nanofile that I got for cheap on Amazon. Between that and some soft-backed fine nail files/buffers, most plastics come up super glossy. Clear pieces can be hit and miss, but as long as the snip didn’t stress too deep it’s usually okay.
