Gunpla Build - Real Grade Crossbone Gundam (Accessories) 2024-07-28

In case you needed to see just how tiny some of the parts are for this kit, here’s a look at the runners:

Take a close look at things like the leg armor, or the red toe armor, and you’ll see that they’re that much smaller than normal. Or you can try and zoom in on some of the excruciatingly tiny orange parts on the A runner.

So - how does our symbol of Earthian suppression fare?

Let me put it this way - there have been plenty of times where I’ve thought to my self “this kit looks great, and looks even better in the lightbox”. But this is the first time I can remember where I’ve thought “this looks just okay …

” … but it looks amazing in the lightbox”

So far, the pattern with GWitch kits is that they look surprisingly bad as out of the box builds, but look quite good with a little bit (or a lot) of TLC. We already established that the Dilanza looked cheap and toylike out of the box, but how does it look up with some panel lining, color correction, and a truckload of decals?

Pretty darn good I’d say!

This kit follows the same pattern as all the other GWitch kits I’ve built. They may look pretty good when they’re done, but they require quite a lot of extra work to make them color accurate, and both the build process and the engineering feel weirdly dated.

Anyway, let’s look at some of the more notable parts of the build.
