There are some leftover parts — these are from the Super Sylph v1.0.
The original EX-10 Super Sylph kit was later updated and released as EX-13, the Super Sylph 1.5.
Since the Gray Sylph is based on the v1.5, these v1.0 parts end up left over.

All 6 EX Yukikaze series kits together!

The Gray Sylph marks the end of the ongoing Yukikaze EX series milking. It takes the existing Super Sylph, tweaks the molded color slightly, and throws in ¥500 worth of decals — making it a kit with a similar concept to the Electronic Stealth version Mave released at the same time.

The original EX-10 Super Sylph kit was updated to the EX-13 Super Sylph v1.5, which brought improved nozzle and landing gear detail. The Gray Sylph is built on that v1.5 as its base — it's essentially the same kit with the molded color changed to gray and extra decals added.

Along with the Mave Electronic Stealth version, this is a kit worth keeping an eye on if you're into going all-out with decals. ^^ And with this, the Yukikaze EX series is complete!
