Grabbed this from TOM because I had a coupon for 10 bucks and the pilot looks hot. It's a lot cooler than I expected and I recommend buying it. The amount of plastic for $13 is impressive and makes me wonder why the main HGUC line is so expensive compared to these IBO kits. It was a snap build with nothing but nippers and knife and I wish I hadn't done that. The kit had some big ass, tough nubs, like on the backpack and some leg armor that I ended up trying to whittle with the knife only to gouge plastic.
On a related note, does anyone actually use the stickers? They always fall off for me so I stopped using them. Maybe they'd be better if they were sealed with a topcoat.
And on a side note, the Xuron 2175ET nips well but the finish isn't much better than the various cheap wire cutters I've tried. It only comes out better once in a blue moon on small gates if you're lucky.
