Bandai Hobby Strike Freedom Gundam Seed Destiny Mobile Suit Model Kit (1/100 Scale)

The media could not be loaded. Constructing the model is always the main takeaway from purchasing a kit. The ease of piecing it together is perfect for beginners and experts alike (buy a pair of nippers or if you live life on the edge use toenail clippers). The appearance and quality of the model is amazing for its price, and the small attention to details is what really brings it together.Overall a solid kit.

Mg strike freedom is an amazing kit. This regular version does not come with chrome plated gold parts like the full burst mode, but the yellowish colour really isn't bad at all. I actually wish i didn't paint portions of the inner frame because I lost out on some of the model's excellent articulation due to stiff joints. I also ended up breaking the 2 hip joints and had to glue them together. Very sad, since this model had no out of the box flaws, except my gold-plated hang up. If you are thinking of getting this kit, do it and you won't regret it. It's a fun build, has great articulation, comes with a stand, nice accessories and looks very impressive when finished. Just don't paint the frame gold. Leave it as it comes and save yourself the hassle and letdown that I went through with this otherwise awesome gunpla. I'm never painting a model again. I'll leave that for the pros who know of all the things that can go wrong. For my next kit, I'll be content simply building out of the box. Gundam models are great just the way they come from bandai. Too bad I had to learn that with mg strike freedom, one of my favourite mobile suits.

I’ve wanted to build a gundam for a long time and I’m glad i finally started one. I’m excited to go back and actually paint some details into this one. Wished i would have done that from the beginning. I also picked up a barbatos. That one will be detailed from the beginning. Definitely takes some patience. Make sure you don’t get too far ahead of yourself either. Very easy to mix pieces up if you cut out for too many steps at once.

I normally go for the HIgh Grade Gundams. I didn't realize it first when I bought this it was a Master Grade but I'm so glad I purchased it. I had a lot of fun putting this together the instructions are very clear.

What I didn't like,- That ugly muddy-gold plastics are pain to see. I ended up painting them with proper gold color.- No inner frame under the skirts and shoulder armors. It will look much better if you take time to paint the inside.- The Dragoon system is okay. Not as great as RG or PG (of course..).- The included stand is cool, but a little weak and poor articulation.- It became a little boring when you have to build the Dragoon system....8 of them!!!- Because of its massive backpack unit, it is back heavy. Good thing they gave you a stand. It looks better arial anyway.- It's too bad that the blue stripe on those beam rifles are done with stickers, not plastics :(What I love,- The look. If you have seen the anime, you will not regret buying this. Putting this guy up on the shelf with kick ass pose or simply its wings(?) spread out is simply pleasing.- Very nice articulation. Once on a stand, you can get it to do anything you want.- Despite the fact that the stand is a little weak, it is still a nice thing that they give you one.- lovely details everywhere. Nice proportion. Just an absolute beauty.VerdictOverall, this was a great build (except Dragoon part). It looks much better after I painted the gold parts. The stickers on beam rifles aren't that bad if you put on carefully. The Strike Freedom is now dashing with its wings spread out ready to put down some dude. If you are a fan of Seed, Strike Freedom, or Kira Jesus Yamato, then go for it.PS. Don't bother getting a full burst mode. Even though it comes with some shinny gold parts, the other parts of inner frame are still in the muddy-ugly gold. You will end up with an MS with part shiny part muddy gold (which is worse than entirely muddy-gold). The clear rods for Dragoon systems are barely standing up. Save yourself some money and go buy a $5 gold spray.

Took about 5 hours spread out across a few days to build it, kit is simple and finished product looks great, this was my first gunpla build so take it from a novice , i did not seam seal or highlight or even put the decals on yet unsure if i am going to as I'm satisfied with it as is. The mass of the wings however limits movement, good thing it comes with an included base( not pictured )

Wonderful and time consuming but in the fun way lol definitely not for beginners unless you enjoy a challenge! The final product looks great and if your a fan of Gundam, this my friend is for you. Be safe
