Now, lets talk about the history of this kit
Taken from Gundam.Wikia.com
"A modified version of the UT-1D Civilian Astray DSSD Custom used by Leons Graves. All the modification and new parts utilized are designed by Leons himself and the change in name signifies that the MS is now optimized for combat. The most significant difference is the modification to the head unit, which now contains enhanced sensor unit that allows Leons to fully utilize his sniping skills. There are also other modifications made to the internal components but these did not result in any changes to the outer appearances. One such modification is the adding of a power receiver function to the backpack mounted electromagnetic propulsion system, allowing the MS to operate longer. Like the Civilian Astray DSSD Custom used by Leons, the Arms Astray PMC Custom is armed with a laser torch, beam pistol and shield."

Overall
Consider really hard before you decide to buy this kit. For some reason, this kit made me love it and hate it at the same time
Love it
1.you can swap the head between the USSD Custom or Leon's Custom
2.hand Gun and read beamsaber
Hate it
1. kit comes in pink and whitegrey part.
2. Snap fit means no polycap. joint will lose easily due to no polycaps.
3. limited movement.
4. sticker quality very bad 

last but not least,buy this kit if you want to complete your Seed/Astray collection. one of the kit that comes with pink scheme. Not for beginner. buy the original if you can afford it.
