This review is from: Gundam 00: HG 06 GN-005 Gundam Virtue 1/144 Scale Model Kit (Toy)

It took me a whopping 5.5 hours to complete Virtue, and it was awesome! Other than having to touch up the GN Field Generators and GN drive cover with a little paint (my optional opinion) it was a fairly easy one because of its size. It's the same scale as the other 1 144 models but thicker which would help begginers. It very mobile once made as well and the GN Cannons on it's back are fully posable. I would Rate this a 4.5. I had alot of fun but needed a break half way through lol.

This review is from: Gundam 00: HG 06 GN-005 Gundam Virtue 1/144 Scale Model Kit (Toy)

The 1/144 HG Gundam Virtue is an odd case. It has everything this Gundam is supposed to have, but that winds up being very ho-hum, as reflected by being by far the cheapest kit in the series (on a number of levels).

The build quality as actually on par with the other kits in this series, with everything snapping together well and requiring little or no paint. As this is the sturdiest of this 00's Gundams, this kit is appropriately built, and could easily take a number of shelf dives with no scarring (though I wouldn't recommend testing that).

But the central gimmick of Virtue is supposed to be the ability to change into Gundam Nadleeh, and that transformation isn't present here. Perhaps that was too much to ask of a 1/144 kit, but without that gimmick, Virtue is just so plain. Its bulky armor looks cheap because there's little detail. Although it has all its equipment, all of its equipment is very bulky. You'll need some careful work with a detailing pen to make this kit look less like a dollar-store toy and more like a Gundam kit.

If you're going to collect the full line of Gundam00 1/144 HG kits, this isn't a bad kit to have in the lineup. It stands well, and what little posing the suit is capable of, this kit can basically replicate. But if you're like me and you give a lot of care into how your Gundam display looks overall, this is a pretty weak kit. Hold out for a more detail if you're a fan.

This review is from: Gundam 00: HG 06 GN-005 Gundam Virtue 1/144 Scale Model Kit (Toy)

At first site i thought this would be a easy build. This model kit was nice it took me about 3 hours to finish with my new born up and wanting some attention. over all its a good kit even though i will only be building 1/100 kits from now on to get all the extras you would expect to recieve from a gundam 00 series model kit. Thanks in advance for reading my review.
