I made a few changes when I start building my kit. The arm, waste and knee armour are totally changed at the very last minute. Well, I’ll show more as I go along.

Well, this is my 3rd Gundam kit and still learning a lot from Gunpla TV and youtube. I certainly hope that I can get the best out of my little experience in modelling.
