RG 1/144 RX-93-ν2 Hi-ν Gundam Review

This Real Grade is too detailed, such as the color coding of each part including the fin funnel and the previously announced "multi-link gimmick". The package is the same flat type as "RG 1/144 ν Gundam".

Runner set

Let's start with the contents of the box. The instruction manual contains detailed explanations of armament. Next, for the runners is a slightly molded A runner. The parts molded into metallic orange are beautiful. B runner is an advanced MS joint used at the base of the fin funnel. It's the same type as "RG 1/144 ν Gundam".

C runner is constitutes the light gray part such as the exterior. This is also a light gray D runner. The E-runner that makes up the fin funnel. It is a runner of the same type as "RG 1/144 ν Gundam". F runner packed with parts such as frames. There are two of the same type. In the center you can see the internal parts of the funnel rack.

The G runner that makes up the mechanical part. H runner with beautiful bright blue. It constitutes each part of the exterior. I runner with silver metallic molding color. It is a runner that becomes an accent of each part. Realistic decal and beam saber blade. The beam saber is molded in blue.

Legs Unit

The ankle parts are accented with silver parts on the toes. The toes and heels of the ankles can be moved up and down. There is a wide range of poses.

Once you have your ankles, assemble the leg frame. Cylinder-shaped parts that can be seen on the back of the knee. It expands and contracts according to the movement.

The cylinder-shaped parts are metallic molded color, so they stand out very much when you glance at them and give a good accent. We will also assemble the exterior and mechanical parts. If you attach all the exteriors, the legs will be completed. It is a very complicated surface structure.

Here, let's take a look at the "multi-link gimmick" that was announced before the release as one of the features of this kit, in which the armor slides in conjunction with the movement of each part. If you bend your knees a little, the armor on the front of the rose-apple will slide accordingly. If you bend it further, the upper part of the knee armor will slide and the internal mechanical parts will be exposed.

When you bend it deeper, the mechanical parts under the knee armor are exposed. The series of movements is very smooth. This is amazing. By the way, the legs are also equipped with a gimmick that expands the exterior as shown in the photo. All moving parts are unfolded. So, if you combine it with the ankle, the leg is completed.

Waist Unit

The movable shaft is also tight on this exterior. Pay attention to the back side from front armor. The back of the armor has a double structure.

The blue part of the rear armor opens and closes. The back side is also double-layered. If you paint them separately, it will be a tremendous amount of information. Combine everything and attach the side armor to complete the waist.

The amount of information seen from the back is also overwhelming.

Fuselage Unit

Attach the base part of the neck and the shoulder joint. The shoulder joints are pull-out type, so the range of movement is also substantial. Bazooka etc. are likely to be held firmly. The fuselage is completed by attaching the exterior. The hole-shaped details on the sides are also sharp.

The cockpit hatch can be opened and closed. You can also pull up the cover block. In addition, a pull-out movable shaft is installed on the abdomen, so it is possible to bend forward and bend the body.

Arms Unit

The right arm come with a built-in arm machine gun. The roll axis of the elbow enables so-called "gawara bending". The gimmick of the right arm is fold wrist inward, the arm machine gun will protrude in tandem. The gimmick of the left arm is the hatch opens and closes up and down. The handle of the beam saber can be stored inside.

There are 7 types of hand parts: left and right fists, left and right weapon handles, left and right flat hands (with a movable shaft at the base), and right rifle handle. The shoulder armor are also two deployment gimmicks here.

Head Unit

The eye parts are transparent clear parts. The Head Unit is a very fearless modeling. The main body is completed by combining the parts made so far.

Backpack Unit

Install the propeller tank. Since the base is a ball join, it can be moved freely. The details are also beautiful. It is also a point that the parts are composed so that there are no seams. The top of the backpack is also an expansion and contraction gimmick here.

The funnel mounting base at the rear end indicated by the red circle and the thruster can move in conjunction with each other, and the beam saber rack can be opened and closed and the handle can be stored.

The details of the base parts are also very precise. The funnel rack is completed by attaching the exterior.

Weaponry

The Riffle is amazing that the white cover parts are one-part molding. The beam rifle can also be mounted on the waist. New Hyper Bazooka barrel can be expanded and contracted and the grip can be folded. You can also hang it on your backpack.

Hi-ν Gundam's unique coloring shield. It's a unique parts composition. The Fin Funnel base is a semi-finished advanced MS joint, so you don't have to worry about the strength when deformed.

The color coding of the funnel is also reproduced by dividing the parts. One side is assembled. It's a beautiful color coding. After assembling the other side, the fin funnel is completed. With the advanced MS joint at the base, the stored state, injection state, and unfolded state can all be reproduced with a click. Then, attach the fin funnel to the funnel rack and attach the realistic decals.

Summary

This concludes the review of "RG Hi-ν Gundam". The small size of 1/144 scale has a deployable and movable gimmick built in to the extent that it is "this is it", and every time each block was assembled, it was an item that was overwhelming. The heroic proportions and full range of movement are perfect, and I think it's a wonderful item that you can feel the evolution of the RG series and the feeling of "This series, don't get fat!".
