Hobby HGBF 1/144 Hi-Nu Gundam Vrabe Model Kit

It's a great kit, especially for a high grade, has lots of great articulation, is pretty sturdy (for the most part) and looks awesome up on my shelf next to my other kits. My only somewhat minor complaint is that the torso joint is fairly loose, and pops off easily. It may also be a good idea to invest in a stand, as it is quite top/back heavy. Other than that, it's a great HG and was a ton of fun to build.

Fairly easy kit to build. It does require some panel lining and paint to replicate the product's pic. It's quite heavy without a action base so posing is tough without it. Even without paint and panel lining it's super good looking and well worth the time and money.

The kit is definitely a refresh of the original Hi-Nu (it even comes with some Hi-Nu parts). It's definitely more streamlined in appearance and looks amazing, very little to panel line, but some minor paint is required if you want a more detailed version (i.e. the weapons, thrusters, and some of the armor aren't accurate in color). As a straight assembly, it's a very good kit. However, this kit is not without downsides. The waist joint is not great, moving it around a lot can result in his lower half just falling off. His arms can also be annoying sometimes when trying to pose him, they might fall off, but it might just be mine. Still, I recommend this kit, not for beginners or novices though.

With the Hi-Nu being one of my top 5 favorite MS. This kit was a great return from the HGUC Hi-Nu. With some new accessories, This MS is definitely recommended. The articulation is pretty decent with arms and legs, considered it's bulk. And the wings are pretty flexible as well. I didn't like the chicken mode all that much and leaving all the accessories on the MS makes this thing look hella sexy. It's a tedious snap together with a few small parts. But with patience on your side, You'll get this bad boy assembled in no time. It took me about 4-5 hours for full completion of the kit. I would highly recommend some blue cover up paint on this kit, Since some of the nub marks are so thick and bulky. It's easily noticable. Overall. Great kit. Well worth the buy. This kit also screams action base 2.

By far as of right now my favorite Build Fighters MS An amazing kit tons of playability and posability. My one major and glaring issue with this kit is the fact that you only get one Beam Saber Effect Part and one Beam Jitte part while the Long blades clearly show they can hold two.

The only negative items I can identify are the legs cannot bend sideways and if you buy 3 of these models to have 6 full funnels, you will find the extra funnels do not fit well into the wings.

This is a surprise for me. I stopped buying HG 1/144 due to a lot of stickers. It's always MG for me but this only requires a small amount of masking for painting. I love the det as is and it's a good looking kit. I would recommend getting a action base for this as it is back heavy.

I'm very disappointed with this Gundam. I can't even move it without the top half of it falling off, let alone pose it. The torso barely connects with the upper half of the body. If you try to turn it, then the upper half will fall off. The hands can barely hold it's weapons. The shield doesn't really stay on. If try to move the arm a little, then shield will half off. And finally, don't be decieved by the pictures. This Gundam cannot stand with it's wings and fins unless it's being propped up against something. Sure, it can stand without them but it just takes away from the overall look. The ONLY good thing that I can say about this model (also the only reason why I'm not giving it 1 star) is the look; this gundam is beautiful. It's just a shame that it has all these major issues. Thank God that this model didn't cost me much. Save your money, don't buy this model. Unless you're fine with just looking at this Gundam and never being able to touch or pose it, I strongly suggest you look else where for your next gundam.

ガンダムアニメの後半登場する主人公機のようなカッコ良さ☆☆☆☆☆ 個人的に白と青のカラーリング！ ファンネル持ち！ ガンダムヘッド！ デザイン！ 最高のガンダムだなぁと思います(*'ω｀*) 頭部デザインが個人的にシビレルぅ！というところと、 全体のバランスはフリーダムが羽を広げたような印象ですが、 バックパックの羽が開いていたり尖ったデザインが個人的には最高でした(≧∇≦)/

my first model. no prior gunpla experience. it is good and fun to build. you need some hobby tools (nippers, sand paper,..) there are tiny pieces included; you need good eyesight and light. manual in japanese with intuitive pictograms build time 4-6h depending on how neat you clean the pieces will go for RG (next sazabi?)

Haven't got to assembling the product but it came earlier than expected and all the parts are provided as in the manual. Definitely looking forward to building this.

近接武装を装備し全体的に元より尖ったデザインがかっこいい。 キットとしては造形が良い。 価格はちょい高めだが、その分パーツ数が多い事による本体の色分けがしっかりしているのを評価。 特に胴体は感心した。 背中の中心パーツだけはシールにかなり頼ってはいるが。 付属品はバズーカ、青いサーベル刃大と小など。 銃の持ち手は右のみなのはいいとして、平手が入ってないのが惜しい。 最大の欠点は可動範囲がやや狭い事。 少し前のキットと考えれば普通だが、最新のに比べると股関節がボールジョイントタイプで劣る。 デザイン上頭を横に動かすとき干渉しやすい。 腰がやや抜けやすい。 ただ、肩の水平可動範囲は広く、怒り肩にできたりして良い。

大変気に入ってます。
