[Furai Model] A.W.E. Striker

The articulation in the shoulder joints held up through a full weekend of posing without loosening a bit, which surprised me for a kit this size. Assembly took two patient evenings, but that final chest panel clicking into place was worth every minute.

The panel lines are so crisp that even the smallest vents pop once you start dry-brushing, and the snap-fit tolerances are impressively tight—barely any seam cleanup needed. I lost an afternoon to the build without noticing the time fly, and the finished mecha has serious shelf presence.

The panel lining on this kit really pops once you snap the armor pieces together, and the mecha silhouette looks aggressive from every angle. Took me a relaxing weekend to finish, and the fit was tight enough that I didn’t need glue on most parts.
