Amuro's Final Suit: MG RX 93-V2 Hi-V Gundam

Finally, after a week of waiting for my supply package, the beast is complete! This mech probably took me over 16 hrs to fully complete in total. That's panel lining, cutting off from sprues, putting together, applying water slides, then top coating in layers. I have to say, for my 3rd ever Gundam/model kit (the other two being MG D-Hell and MG WZC pearl gloss), it looks really nice! I feel so pro now... I can tackle any kit! Anyways, I topcoated this piece of awesomeness with Mr. Topcoat Flat. I pretty much used up the whole entire can for the kit.

Oh my gosh!!! Now I really have to do the gloss finish on my MG Unicorn ova... Damn. I really don't feel like ordering another flat spray, so...

Anyways, I bought this guy for five reasons: He's Amuro's final suit, he's Amuro Freakin' Ray's suit, he's sexy, he's a UC kit (don't have any other than my incomplete MG Unicorn ova.), and he's one of the B.F.Gs (Big Flippin' Gundams).

Speaking of which, what the hell is Hi-V anyways? Apparently he's like the Wing Zero Custom of the movie version. I believe it was the novel Beltorchika's Children that he was in. He's also supposed to be the completed version of the V Gundam (V as in the Greek for Nu) had Amuro been given more time to prepare.
Sadly, this does not change his fate as he still perishes by the hands of the debris from Char's asteroid. I miss Amuro...

Well, pictures speak louder than words so here is the bad boy himself: "MG RX 93-V2 Hi-V Gundam: Amuro Ray's Final/Strongest Mobile Suit"

A look at the backpack unit that houses the fearsome fin funnels. The Hi-V was supposed to be able to recharge the fin funnels on its own. The propellant tanks are able to keep the Hi-V accelerating longer.

Side view to get the idea of its dimensions.

Angled front shot. Yeah I went for the lazy box art pose... Oh, and I finally figured out how to improve the detail quality of my camera. Idk if you guys notice...

Same angle, closer.

Actually, I think this my best shot. It gives a better idea of the massiveness of this beast.

Just liked the way his head was turned, "Hey! Watcha' lookin' at!".

Emo shot.

Bet you've never seen this shot before...

I was going for the "Godzilla" look. He's huge!!! (That's what she said about me... HAHAHA!!!)



SO UNTIL MY MG UNICORN OVA. PEACE!
