REVIEW MG 1/100 XXXG-01H2 Gundam Heavyarms Custom EW, Supernova

The following is a review of Supernova MG 1/100 XXXG-01H2 Gundam Heavyarms Custom EW, a plastic model kit gunpla Master Grade released by bootleg factory Supernova-Model Heart based on the original model of the Mobile Suit Gundam Wing Endless Waltz. 

Supernova MG 1/100 XXXG-01H2 Gundam Heavyarms Custom EW Review

This hand part of the Supernova MG Gundam Heavy Arm Custom has experienced a reduction in unnecessary parts. This is a significant progress to cover the previous shortcomings which often resulted in parts being lost quickly due to too many parts.

Details

The Head Unit has undergone quite a number of changes and is getting better than the previous 2 Master Grade Supernovas. This head unit is absolutely perfect. Other details, including the panel line, are also quite detailed and deep compared to the original Bandai.

Snapfit

The inner-frame has slight changes from the previous Supernova kit model, except for the side skirts and legs. Most of these snapfit bootleg model kits are quite tight and need some attention before installing them. In installation, do not put too much pressure on the parts, because stress marks will appear which will cause the parts to break easily.

The snapfit between the inner-frame and the outer armor is also quite tight, please be careful to start assembling it.

Weaponry and Set Contents

There are 2 Weapon Storage / Weapon Racks in the purchase package from this MG Supernova Gundam Heavy Arm Custom which can be used as a stand for the Gatling Gun. At the bottom of the Weapon Storage Gatling Gun there is a connector that can unite it so that it becomes 1 standbase.

On the mask part, always pay attention when cutting and trimming the runner, because there is a small protruding peg which will later be used to attach the mask to the face of this Heavy Arm Custom Supernova.

The installation of the sleeve from the Gatling Gun does not have a procedure that must be obeyed, this sleeve can be installed on both sides.

The Join Backpack is very tight, no need to do anything for this. This backpack join is needed to support the Gatling Gun which is quite heavy on the tip. The part rod that supports the Gatling Gun on this backpack has a lock on the surface in the form of an embossed peg and a hole on the other side. So, this backpack can support the Gatling Gun quite well.

This Custom Heavy Arm Backpack is indeed quite similar to the Jesta, but overall this is a different backpack, completely new and has a pretty good structure. Compared to the Original Bandai, the MG Gundam Heavy Arm Custom backpack from Supernova is more complex and has more articulation.

Summary

There are quite a few changes for this Supernova MG Gundam Heavyarm Custom compared to the Original Bandai. In addition, quite a lot of updates have been provided compared to the previous MG Supernova series, especially the head.

This very tight snapfit can damage the part itself, this is a weakness of the model kit released by the bootleg factory. With a price that is almost half of the original and the excellent details, it's no wonder I highly recommend this model kit.
