Whether you're an old fan of the series like me or a new one, this is a good kit for modelers of any skill level. There are a lot of plates (the included components) to swap between during construction, which can make this kit stressful for novice builders, but it's worth it, because once assembled, you have a fantastic looking model. The articulation is very good, probably 90% of the parts are colored, so the paintwork is minimal and doesn't take up much shelf space. My only concern with this kit is that some parts, I counted about 3 so not many, don't fit very well and can come off. If you like this kit, I suggest you also buy the 3 armor variants that come with it, but make sure you buy them from Kotobukiya so the parts fit.
