The 1/144 scale HG Astray Red Frame is one of the coolest Gundams ever. It has a unique look, very unique weapons, and this kit has great quality to match that.

The good:
-First off is the Gerbera Straight, the coolest weapon in this or any kit I've built thus far. C'mon, a robot wielding a katana? Seriously awesome. It's a single-piece katana with a two-piece sheath, and you can actually slide the katana into the sheat. It even locks into place satisfyingly. This is excellent when combined with...
-Maximum poseability. All of the suit's joints, from its wrists to its ankles, pose extremely well. The kit can reach its right hand all the way over to the Gerbera on its hip, it can grab the beam sabers behind its head, and can otherwise obtain almost any cool sword pose you can dream up.
-You even get a rifle and a shield, if posing the suit with the Gerbera and its beam sabers isn't enough yet. The rifle and shield set well, and are again complemented by excellent kit poseability.
-The suit's unique style is its very biggest hit for me. The legs are interestingly put together with the red-on-white colors being very striking. The suit looks excellent out of the box, and although it doesn't need any detail at all, painters can shoot for the moon accenting all of the joints and details if they so choose. A few additional stickers are provided, allowing you to sticker the suit either for its affiliation, or with pilot Lowe Guele's trademark.

The only minuses I can dream up come from the show, as the kit doesn't come with any of Lowe's customizations. These include a double roatating beam saber device (BuCUE), a flight pack, or his eventual creation of a double-handed katana putting the Gerbera Straight to shame. But these are all really just extras, that while cool, are unnecessary for the main suit. Get this kit, and you get almost unparalleled flexibility with a very cool visual style. You can't ask for much more than that on a kit this small.
