Together with the 1/144 Shining Gundam it's based on.

This is the old-style 1/144 Rising Gundam from the G Gundam series. Since the Rising Gundam is canonically a modified Shining Gundam, the kit itself is also based on the 1/144 Shining Gundam.

As a result, the structural characteristics are identical to the Shining Gundam — you still get those flimsy hip joints and that old-school proportioning. That said, unlike its predecessors, this kit makes its case with a generous weapons loadout: a Beam Bow, Beam Machine Gun, and Heat Naginata are all included, letting you recreate a variety of scenes.

So while the overall quality still leaves something to be desired, the wide variety of weapons included does give this old-style kit a definite selling point. :-)
