The Shin Musha No Jin - Full Review!

INTRODUCTION

=============

This is the First MG from TT Hongli that I've built!.. and it took the longest hour to built it.. with detail coloring on the piston plus the panel lining done!.. Overall the result was superb.. Photo shooting for this kit was by myself and because some of the pictures were taken back from my threads in lowyat forum, so it's a re-used picture and might have lowyat.com tag.

The Full Review

============

Manufacturer : TT Hongli(高高模型)

Scale: 1/100

Grade: Master

Mobile Suit: Shin Musha No Jin

Estimated Time Completion: 10 hours

Actual Time Completion: 12 hours

Inner Frame

- Plastic quality is nice.

- Snap-fit is done nicely.

- Firm but easily fitted into.. without much of the problem after a slight cut to the side on the male plastic, and it will be easily fitted into the female holes.

- There're Pistons for the leg and thrust me.. the leg was very detail..

- There're needs to put on coloring on the piston to make it look real cool!..

Joints/Articulation

- Joints are very firm.

- Articulation is fantastic as you can see from the photos.

- As, this is my first MG built model.. I had difficulty in putting in the fingers.

Exterior Armour

- Plastic quality hard and good.

- Colour is just very nice.. Glossy + Shinning so there isn't much of the coloring needed for this kit.

- As for the shinning gold part.. from the moment of trimming out from the runners, I had touch up the color using the Gundam Marker metallic gold to cover the lost of the color coating from the gates.

- The result for doing that, 1 word can be categorize it.. Awesome!

Buying Recommendation

- If you are in a budget constrain, this is a good choice.

- If you are looking forward to painting and modding, do get this :)

- Seriously recommend this guy because it's 98% same as the original and if I'm not mistaken, the price for the original cost almost 1 1/2 more than this kit.

- But for sure I would still say this, if you really have the money and still don't trust other brand than Bandai.. Don't buy :)

Cheers.
