The head is even whiter, and the red on the body is a bit deeper.
The gray is also darker with a heavier, more solid feel to the color.

Together with the HGUC Operation V set.
The changes compared to the normal release are pretty much the same.

Just like the HGUC line, an Operation V set has been released for the SD BB Senshi lineup as well. It's a combo kit of BB Senshi First Gundam, Guncannon, and Guntank — and just like the HGUC version, the molded colors have been completely overhauled to an anime style across the board, with dedicated seals added on top.

The First Gundam, Guncannon, and Guntank are among the higher-quality kits in the BB Senshi lineup, so each one is already a very satisfying build on its own — bundle them all together and throw in extra seals, and you've got quite a premium combo kit.

Anyway, aside from the changed molded colors and the added seals, there's really nothing else different, so there isn't a whole lot more to dig into — but as a high-quality SD combo kit, this feels like the most universally recommendable SD set for any Gunpla fan out there. :-)
