The damaged areas on the shield and head are meant to be handled with waterslide decals,
but the heavy curves make it a real pain to work with. Might just be faster to paint them..

The white armor molded color has deepened to a light gray.

This kit is the MG Full Armor Gundam (Gundam Thunderbolt) Last Session Ver., released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. Based on the MG Full Armor Gundam (Gundam Thunderbolt)that was released as a standard release, it adds a number of extra options — a damaged head and shield, an action base, clear support stands, and debris parts.

The main body only uses the inner frame without the Full Armor armor, so quite a few parts end up as leftovers. As a kit designed to recreate the final battle scene from Gundam Thunderbolt, it's optimized for staging that scene using the action base and debris parts. The core characteristics of the kit are the same as before — great articulation and solid joint strength. Using the included special parts, you can put together a pretty convincing diorama.

Since this kit is purpose-built for recreating a specific scene, there are some limitations when it comes to posing variety or staging other situations. That said, the big plus is that this kit alone gives you everything you need to recreate that scene as a diorama. One thing to note — the molded colors have been slightly changed for the Last Session version. The colors are a bit darker than the standard release, with the white molded color coming out more of a light gray.

Anyway, the kit's usefulness is a little on the niche side, but it's really more of a treat for fans of the source material. If you enjoyed Gundam Thunderbolt, this is definitely a kit worth picking up. :-)
