Is the MG GP01 that bad?

[Kokopelli]

Actually the color is suppose to bee a little off-white. Usually I see modellers adding a drop of blue to the white when painting GP01's. All of the arm joints are bad, I had to eventually glue them in place for the pose I wanted.

I think its just not well aged kit.

i dunno...its been hit and miss with me.

My first GP01fB was an amazing kit and held together quite good, all the parts were solid and the core block didnt give me much trouble. The arms too were fine and on-par. The only thing i disliked out-of-the-box was the shield/arm assembly; too small to connect to the arm and stay on...but a little putty fixd that right up.

My second FB kit was problematic and i had to do a load of stuff to keep it from falling apart; generally the problems you guys mentioned.

The leg's seam placement though...i just laff at it...and then cry ;~;

i love my gp03 even though its 1/144, and it took me 4 hours to build and very sore fingers to build. i dunno if my hands would let me work on an mg. my hands would go arthritic before i finished the torso. although i must be honest, i really bought the gp03 for the core fighter sp hehe
