I know everyone is still raving about the RG version but I do want to build the HGFC first to have better appreciation of the RG.

It’s a good kit, though outside of the need to fill up the hollow wings of the Core Lander, it’s pretty much a vanilla HG build. It will definitely benefit having all the dynamic articulation brought by the “SEED Action System.” But as far as aesthetics go, I think this one will match the new HGFC kits of the Shuffle Alliance better than the Real Grade version.
With all completed builds comes the inevitable question of what follows next. I have two options here: I can either go full G Gundam and continue with either the Gundam Rose and Maxter, or I’ll complete the “90s mid-season upgrades” with the Gundam Double X. I’ll start those around April as I do want to spend the Easter Weekend with overdue photo sessions.
