HG 1/144 00 Raiser Special Edition

The HG 00 Raiser Special Edition comes packaged with the 00 Gundam and the 0 Raiser. For those who bought the initial release of 00 Gundam, the 0 Raiser is available as a seperate kit. The difference from this Special Edition and the normal release is that the special edition's colour scheme is very much more faded and muted. The red parts as you can see now appear more pinkish than red.

Included in this kit is the 00 Gundam, the 0 Raiser, a display stand for the 0 Raiser. The weapons included are the 2 GN Sword IIs and the 2 GN shield halves that can combine into a GN shield.

The articulation is what I've come to expect after doing a few recent HG kits. As I mentioned earlier, lightyears apart from the earlier 1/144 model kits from the pre 2002/03 period.

For this kit, did some panel lining and painted the clear round parts in the hands and legs a transparent green. In doing so, I kinda made it too dark to see the inner stickers since I pasted them instead of silvering the surface. I also applied silver paint to the GN Sword II blades, the GN shield bladed portion and the 2 GN drives. Unfortunately, the paint got on a little too thick on some parts as can be seen in the pictures below. Will be stripping and repainting them in time to come.
