![]() ![]() In this process they go from a female polycap to a male peg, requiring you to disassemble the two drive units, remove and replace the polycap with the male peg, then transfer the female polycap into the Buster backpack in order to accommodate installation of the fins. The main problem is that the two Minovsky Drive units (the fins at the back) which are normally installed onto the backpack of the V2 itself move to the two pods in Buster/Assault Buster mode. This part also happens to be where all of the major flaws lie in, with some of the most extreme parts swapping I have ever seen needed in order to change between the various modes. With the main core MS being the same as the original HG V2 release which came out last year, the Assault Buster mode is the main draw of this particular kit.

Other than that, there are a number of detail areas over the kit like vents which could use a splash of grey. The most obvious culprits are the shield and it’s shield bits, which are completely molded in blue and white respectively and have a total of three colours each. PaintingĪs with most HG kits, there is some degree of masking involved if you’re planning to paint. The overall build took about 1 1/2 months, with the main reason being due to the amount of masking needed. I actually bought this on a whim as it came out just as I was about to order a mega shipment from HLJ. My first post back though, is actually of my latest completed kit, the HG Victory Two Assault Buster Gundam. In fact I have a small growing backlog of built kits I need to go back and do photo sessions on. ![]() I’m back! For the past few months I’ve been busy with work (also a hellacious commission), but I never actually stopped building during this time. ![]()
