When building Auda's custom unit, even the chest seal is different.
On Rashid's commander unit, the arrow markings are straight lines, but on Auda's custom unit, the ends of the lines are slightly curved.
They've even recreated these tiny details that you'd almost never notice — nice touch!

On Auda's custom unit, only the left arm is swapped out for that massive one.
There are some hollow areas visible on the inside of the hand, but at that level you could probably let it slide..

Together with SD Gundam Sandrock.

This kit is the SD Maganac from the Gundam Wing TV series. It's a pretty obscure, niche unit, so it's a bit surprising that it even got an SD release... Most people who haven't watched the Wing anime probably have no idea this mobile suit even existed. It's also a rare item that's genuinely hard to track down — the kind where you might think, "wait, did this actually get an SD release?"

Whatever its origins, the basic quality is pretty solid for an older-style SD kit. There are some hollow areas on the weapons and hands, but the backs of the arms are nicely filled in. ^^ It also stands out for the special bonus of including two sets of head/arm/backpack parts so you can build both Rashid's commander unit and Auda's custom unit from the show.

In an SD lineup dominated by main characters and top-tier supporting units, it's quite something to see a minor suit like this get its own SD kit. If you're looking for something with a unique feel that sets it apart from the usual lineup, this one's worth recommending. :-)
