This kit is the 1/100 W-Gundam Zero Custom : Special Operation Type released as part of the old Gundam W Endless Waltz series. It's essentially a coated special edition where the white armor sections are finished in an Extra Finish-style semi-gloss silver coating. Aside from that, the overall contents are completely identical to the standard release, so for the kit's own characteristics, check out the 1/100 Wing Gundam Zero Custom review.

The coating quality is pretty good overall — being a semi-gloss finish, it's applied evenly with hardly any variation in density. And as tends to be the case with plated kits, the added coating layer does make the joints feel a bit tighter and sturdier.

That said, while the coating itself looks great, the seam lines stand out even more noticeably since this is an older kit — which is a bit of a shame. But since this is ultimately a special edition aimed at Wing Gundam fans, it's still got its own collector's appeal. :-)
