Through this project I found out long ago that it is a major pain in the neck working on these older bootleg kits. This was my first real detailing work on a Gunpla knockoff lol, which sadly happened to be a bootleg bought mistakenly off of eBay long ago back in 2005 and finished in the same year.
I know it wasn't decently handled since most of the seam-lines still showing, Regardless, being a bootleg it was not an easy job finishing it as desired. Also would like to note that the decals were home made using a regular printer lol. Never the less, being my first worked on Gunpla I would it turned out alright.

Although I've thought about a redo but since this was my first detailed kit, I want to keep it as is for my own history and evolution. Since the initial photoshoot were done in a bad setup, I will run it through a new photo session soon and give it the justice it deserves.
Update: Alright as promised I've took the liberty to take fresh new photos of it while taking a break from working on Zero. Enjoy these new pictures plus with the older ones re-sized.
After retaking these new pictures I felt the need to redo this kit again, although giving the fact of being a low classed bootleg, deep down I still want to redo it. But at the same time I wanna keep it as is, to one day look back to it and see if I really gotten better over the years.
Perhaps when Bandai releases an MG version of this, then I can quench my thirst then with it.
Thanks again for viewing.
