Bandai Hobby - Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury - #26 Gundam Calibarn, Bandai Spirits HG 1/144 Model Kit

Of the numerous HG kits that I have, this one is by far the best of them all. Truthfully, I did not expect to ever get this kit, so I was pleasantly surprised to see it recommended to me one day on the home page. It is fantastically proportioned, it's as detailed as it looks in the show, and though I was initially disappointed with the chromatic coloring being stickers instead of actual resin pieces, it works well once the slightly opaque clear plate is placed over them.The 'broom' was a bit of a pain to get all the little green stickers on, but once I did, it looked fantastic. The thing I like best about this kit is, as the title mentions, the fact that it comes with a small stand. I wish all HG, RG, and MG kits came with a stand, because it really allows you to pose the gundam into a far more dynamic stance, rather than having to precariously balance them on their own two feet in what will usually be a pretty static pose (I'm sure anyone who has built these figures knows the pain of how 'back-heavy' they are, forcing you to pose them pretty stiffly leaning forward), or having to go and buy a stand separately.It's a fantastic kit; an absolute must-have for collectors, and a great 'second' kit for someone who is starting to get into the hobby and wants to dive a little deeper.

Very very good kit. Not too difficult to build, though it is an HG so ofcourse it's easy, comes with a decent amount of accessories (for an hg), and the finisned model is very solid. It is almost all white so it does come out a little bland but panel lining really helps it or you could learn to paint.For an HG, I'm not sure how much better you could do. I do have one issue and that's the amount of stickers. It's mostly for stuff that's reasonable like cameras and whatever the name of the flashy, color parts on this one are but I will never not have difficulty getting them to sit just right.

Awesome to build, easy, quick, and super fun! Its 1/144 scale so its a little small, smaller than 12 inches. Also- lots of little stickers to add to little parts, so be ready! Id recommend this as an introductory kit for any beginner looking for some fun :)

Amazing gunpla. Built it in like two hours. Looks amazing, even comes with its own stand.

probably one of the best kits I have built in the WFM line, poses nice, decals are actually kinda fun to place on, the included stand is a good temporary one, it helps alright with flying posesonly one issue is the lack of open hands but oh well, still a genuinely great kit

I've seen online that someone broke the face from a normal looking nip. I thought I was careful enough but as I started panel lining and rubbing away the excess the piece started getting floppy on me. Try your best to reduce stress on it. Other than that, beautiful kit. Color correction with grey helps. I used a gold gundam marker instead of some of the stickers. Comes with a stand

Great kit for the price.

Fun and interesting build, lots of little details and cool moving parts. Easy to pose and comes with a nice stand. I do wish it had more hand parts than just the 2 standard weapon holding options, and some stickers were frustrating, but I was planning to do paint instead anyway.
