The artwork is stunning
Got this 2007 LIMITED edition kit rather cheap off of ebay a few weeks ago, about $150 (seen it go for 300, so i decided to snatch it at that price)

This iconic suit is a variant of the MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam and initially appears in the 2001 short CGI film  Gundam Neo Experience 0087: Green Divers and later in the series of short anime films Gundam Evolve. It is presumed to be piloted by Amuro Ray.

So finally I got around to finishing this bad boy, the MS mode looks terrific, it's not JUST another zeta. I thought I was gonna have a hard time with the pink decals but they blend in and line up pretty nicely ( if one is careful enough).
I wish the beam sabers would have been a bit more impressive, but I guess they work just fine, the decals are very simple, and most of the detail is made up by the hints of pink and yellow throughout the suit, I like the subtlety of this kit, I went ahead and gave it a heavy panel lining just to make it pop a bit more, but it looks as impressive with a little less ink as well.

I had a little bit of trouble standing him up because the bottom of the foot is divided into 2 different pieces and they weren't lining up perfectly, didn't give it much thought since I already knew I was gonna be using the stand to display him.

As if this gundam wasn't impressive enough, it looks so good while in it's waverider mode, all the decals line up perfectly and the legs bend right where the white is most dominant, hiding said part and giving the waverider a more aesthetically pleasing color combination.

The Stand is always a plus, and while it might be a bit bulky and take off a lot of space, it looks really nice and it serves it's purpose pretty well.

If you can still find this kit and you are an Amuro/Zeta fan, I highly recommend it.
