This kit is the HG 30th Anniversary First Gundam Clear Color Version, released as a Gundam Expo 2009 exclusive. The overall composition follows the typical clear color approach, with the white parts molded in a milky clear style.

Among limited releases, this one is pretty plain without much of a unique identity, and since quite a few units were distributed, it ended up being sold at regular shops as well. The base HG First is neither particularly great nor bad in terms of quality, so the tight joints typical of clear color versions are still there — overall it's a solid, no-frills limited edition.

True to form for the First Gundam, the HG 30th Anniversary version has been milked across all sorts of variants — but if you're a First Gundam fan, I think it's a kit worth picking up without too much hesitation. :-)
