Together with SD Supa Gundam

You can borrow SD Tenrei Gundam's "Huiragang Sword" and combine it with the Dushuaya weapon.

This kit is the Saiga Gundam released as part of the Shin SD Sengokuden Bushin Huiragang arc. It's based on the concept of Gundam Deathscythe Hell, and the black silhouette along with the Grim Reaper's scythe are nicely reproduced.

Spreading the head antenna and shoulder armor lets you form the Kaitenzetsuranbu mode, and folding the helmet and shoulder armor pieces forward then flipping the backpack around gives you the Psycho Doga mode. Compared to Deathscythe Hell, which wraps its entire body in a cloak, this transformation only partially covers the torso with smaller armor pieces — but it's a fun take on the concept.

As a crossover feature, you can borrow SD Tenrei Gundam's "Huiragang Sword" and combine it with the Dushuaya weapon. The blade of the Dushuaya can be attached either on top or on the side — your choice.

It's a solid SD Gundam of decent quality, and if the style appeals to you, it seems like a fun kit to enjoy. :-)
