Bandai HG 1/144 Mobile Suit Gundam The Witch of Mercury LFRITH Model Kit

This was my first foray into "Gunpla" - I am an experienced model builder and decided to try one, because who doesn't like giant fighting mechs? If you're used to Airfix or Citadel kits, this is a breath of fresh air - the sprues are precisely made (in multiple colours - this was new to me!) and are easily snipped off, requiring minimal filing. And although I did use glue for some parts (knee and thigh boosters which are a little loose), it is not really needed. Some stickers are provided for detailing the eyes/sensors and chest piece - though this kit comes with a pre-decorated chest piece as well. Most of the stickers are tiny, so some tweezers are essential to position them well as you won't get much of a second chance. The finished model looks great if you want a clean look, I have painted weathering/damage/mud on mine as well as added some extra details like shoulder lights not covered by the sprues or stickers, but this is entirely optional. It is easy to pose so there are all sorts of nice dramatic displays you could make. Everything can still come apart so perhaps not ideal for children. The price is good, below what I would expect from a similar Airfix or Revel model and way cheaper than Citadel/Games Workshop offerings.

I buy gundam build kits for my partner frequently, I’m talking maybe once a week. We’ve had a few that aren’t very good but this was not one of them. He was so impressed with the quality and colours and I got to enjoy a good two hours of quiet while he sat there building it.

Awesome set, simple to build but lots of options for builds and stances

Amazing Kit, feels higher quality than most High Grade Kits, Assembly took about an hour so definitely a good activity to pass time and overall not too expensive either.

Perfect

Enjoyable and engaging build whilst remaining easily posable

My son really wanted this to build on his gundam collection. He seems very happy with it. He expressed the built and quality was good. Similar but cheaper than warhammer. Would buy again.

Son loved it!

Really good kit, my bf loved it

It was a super fun build. Took me 3 days and I took my pace with it. I enjoy putting things together so it was perfect to keep me occupied and away from my phone for a couple of hours. I do recommend getting some additional tools with it like a nipper. Scissors don’t work as good. All in it was a fun experience for the price. I’m gonna get 1/100 scale next!

Podem co prar sem medo. Chegou uma semana antes do previsto. Não houve problemas no translado e chegou tudo certinho.ainda não montei, mas coloco aqui a foto depois. Agora tenho a gêmea da aerial para coleção.

良かったです

Its Lfrith. Buy it. Its the lovechild of a regular High Grade and Master Grade kit. Almost has a full internal structure!
