LEON'S ARMS ASTRAY PMC CUSTOM 1/144

Lets get started for today's review. done this not so awesome kit but still i got a love hate feeling when making this kit. for the first time in making gunpla, i accidently cut my finger tips. not a so great experience.hahaha..let leave it..for this review and my future review, im gonna use a simple template that will provide you the manufacturer and the other essential info about the kit :

example

Manufacturer: Gao Gao
Scale: 1/100
Grade: MG
Origin: Gundam 0079

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.

So,

bout this Gunpla..

for whoever wanna start making a gunpla, i will not recommend this kit from this maker due to the quality of the material.

some of the piece wont fit and you need to make some adjustment in order to fit it. 

the joint will be easily loose if you move it a couple off time

compare to the freedom and justice kit that i build months ago, this unit really made me disappointed.

even though they came from the same maker, this impulse unit really been left out by those two.

No mobility on the head part,u cannot twist it to the left or right.

But this unit also have a few things that made me build it.

1. The gold backpack and the gold hand

when i saw this kit, i quickly attracted to the gold scheme of the backpack.

even though, the original colour of it is black, the gold really shine out this kit.

2. i cant think another else than my 1st point..hahahah

overall:

as i said it above, i wont recommend this unit to a beginner in building a this kit. there are better substitute out there than this one. the reason that you might wanna buy or build this 

1. collection purpose

2. challenge

3. price (if you really wanna buy kit from this maker,buy the strike or the freedom kit,it will be easier to build.)

I think thats all.
