Together with the original SD Shippu Kengo Zeta

This kit is the SD Uesugi Kenshin Gundam released as part of the SD Sengoku-den Mushin Kourin-hen series. It's essentially BB Senshi No. 271 Shippu Kengo Zeta with the molded colors changed and a few accessories added.

The original blue has been swapped to silver and the red to black, giving it an overall monochrome feel. The head antenna has been changed to a slightly smaller shape, and new additions include a flag made by cutting out the manual and the Uesugi clan foot soldier Bakuyu, which is based on a ball motif. Everything else follows the same basic configuration as the SD Shippu Kengo Zeta, and the combination feature with the beloved steed Shinpu to form the Chojin Magasshin is carried over as well.

It's a reuse kit without any major standout features, but the quality of the base kit itself is pretty solid. As long as you don't mind the duller color scheme, it seems like a fun little SD kit to enjoy casually. :-)
