With the 1/144 Gun-EZ and Jamesgun.

With the previous kit, the Zoloat, and its background card.

This time, the background card continues the scene from the Zoloat's space-themed background card.

The 6th kit in the 1/144 V Gundam series is the Jabelin, and while the design is different, the overall feel of the kit is almost identical to the previous Gun-EZ and Jamesgun. That said, parts fitment is a step up from those earlier kits, with generally stable joint strength and solid part retention throughout.

The core features stay true to the series concept — you get plenty of clear parts, a clear stand, and a space-themed background card. The highlight here is the shot lancer on the back, which can be repositioned, similar to the Buster on the F91.

It's a pretty standardized lineup so there's nothing dramatically new, but this is the most consistently well-made kit of the bunch in terms of basic quality. If you're particular about build quality, this is an easy recommendation as a 1/144 V Gundam kit. :-)
