The manual shows it painted up by a pro, and it’s looking very sharp.

And if you don’t want to mix your own paints, you also get a double-sided promotional sheet of Gaia Colors that will work for this series.

Standard interior for the manual itself, with a fair bit of white space all around.

And here’s another insert.  Will we ever get tired of color variations?  I don’t think so!

For some final thoughts on the unbox, it’s always good to have more options as a builder when it comes to series like this, especially if you like smaller scalse kits. The parts them selves are well carved, but the colors may not shine right out of the box as much as you might like. But armored troopers are always fun, so stick around to see it all put together!
