>>5853714Happened to have finished building the main body of that kit recently. I'm not that motivated to complete the rest of the weapons and backpack, but I'll get around to it eventually.
As far as other MG kits that are compatible with LED units OOB, there's the Origin RX-78-2, Hi-nu Ver. Ka., Sazabi Ver. Ka., Nu Ver. Ka., RX-78-2 3.0, Geara Doga, Jesta, Marasai, 00 Raiser, Seven Sword, Qan[T], and the Guntank. The Gyan also has a light-up sword. That's probably most of them, at least.
>>5854015Yeah, I wouldn't really advocate throwing any kit away regardless of price, especially if stripping the paint was all that had to be done.
