Aside from the differences in the 1.0 base body, the Ver.Ka's coating color has become deeper and more premium-looking.

This kit is the MG Sazabi Ver.Ka [Special Coating], released as a Gundam Base exclusive. It's also commonly nicknamed "Sasuko." Built on the already excellent MG Sazabi Ver.Ka,this version adds a premium coating on top of everything.

Since it's simply a plated version, the contents and structural features are identical to the original kit — it still delivers that massive volume, intricate frame detail, and all those various hatch-open gimmicks. The semi-gloss coating, reminiscent of an Extra Finish, is applied evenly and consistently throughout. Compared to the MG Sazabi metallic coating versionreleased back in 2010, the coating surface here is noticeably deeper and more refined. Undergates aren't really applied, but the parts separation is done well enough that gate marks don't stand out too badly.

Combining that massive volume with high quality and a premium coating makes for a kit with seriously striking visuals — the sheer presence it commands from its size and flashiness is in a league of its own. Either way, if you're a fan of large kits, love the Sazabi, and enjoy plated versions, this is pretty much the ultimate plated kit you'll want to get your hands on. :-)
