Before getting into the review, the body of this kit is completely identical to the existing EX14 Mave.
As you can see, the shape and molded color are 100% the same.

The only difference between the two kits is the decals included.
With the switch to large Jam Sense Jammer spec decals, the price went up ¥500 from ¥3,500 to ¥4,000..

Either way, you'll need to apply the Jam Sense Jammer wet decals to really set it apart from the original Mave..
But since this is a straight build review, we'll skip that~ ^^;

Stowed configuration

This kit is a variation of the EX14 Mave, using the same runners with the addition of large wet decals worth ¥500 for the Jam Sense Jammer version. Since the runners and molded color are 100% identical to the Mave, the only thing that's different is the decals.

The Mave body itself already looks pretty great, and slapping on the Jam Sense Jammer decals would make this kit look seriously sharp. Since EX reviews are done as straight builds here, reviewing just the bare body doesn't leave much to distinguish it from the regular Mave;

EX kits are already on the pricey side, and with the added decals this one comes in at ¥4,000 — pretty expensive for what you get. That said, if you're a Yukikaze fan, the Jam Sense Jammer spec Mave will probably have a lot of appeal.

The whole point of this kit is the decals! If the Jam Sense Jammer markings have you hooked, it's definitely worth a shot..
