BANDAI Master grade MBF-P03R Gundam Astray Blue Frame Second Revise Build ＃1 Kit review

Is it a side story of SEED with MS that has almost no knowledge as much as you can see on SNS?　I thought it was a pretty cool MS for the purpose of seeing red frame, gold frame, etc., but I didn't have a chance to make it, but recently I bought it because it was sold cheaply at a second-hand shop.　It is said that it is difficult to assemble but it is cool. I would like to make such a blue frame.

Contents

The number of runners is not so many, but I get the impression that there are many small parts.　The decals include dry decals, which have a high degree of difficulty.

Where I was interested

① Joint

There is a place on the weapon where you can see the joints of the parts. It’s almost inconspicuous, so glue it on to finish.

② Feet

Hidden weapons are attached to the toes and heels. I want to paint here separately.

③ Accessories (weapons, etc.)

Tactical Arms are pretty big.The sword foam is larger than the body.
Both thighs are fitted with anti-armor combat knives (Armor Schneider).

Overall

I temporarily assembled it while processing the gate, but it took about a day on a holiday. The parts were fine and difficult to assemble.
The proportions are good. I feel strong. The range of movement is quite large, and you can easily take a one-knee pose. Posing will increase the choices considerably.

Since there are many parts, there is not enough drying space after painting, so I would like to complete the main body and tactical arms respectively.

This is the painting plan. We are planning a lighter color overall. I want the blue part to look light blue.
Ideally, orange should be bluish gray.

I would like to continue working on such a schedule. Next is detail improvement.
