WIP & Review : SD O Gundam

This is a simple WIP of the O Gundam. It's a bootleg gunpla that I bought a few days ago. I just wanna test the product as there's more and more of the bootleg gunpla in the market. I don't know what company producing this kit but one thing for sure, it's from China, well, the county that famous with lots of copy cat thing. The brand is Y.O?? I'm not sure of it. This is the box of the kit. See the logo on your left side (above corner). This is the new bootleg that's arise.Well, enjoy the images below and later on I will tell you the pros and cons.
The box
All the runner, pc parts and foil sticker
Wow! I don't aspect these wings effect also given!
V fin
Details on the head, I already panel line it
Under feet
Head, done with the assemble. The V fin quite good and sharp as you can see in the image...

This is cool! You have to assemble the condenser. In my opinion, you can add a LED in this container. It's got a lot of space to do the modification. For a bootleg, it's good!

Insert the condenser into the body.
Later on you can cover the container with the GN cover
All the leg and hands have been assembled
 This is the display stand...looks good with the transparent stand.
 The wings effects of O Gundam
 Actually it's hard to insert the wings on the GN Drive cause the inlet is just too small and I have to grind it a bit. So, here's the kit with the wings effect halfway of the WIP ^^

Some action poses that not so in action :P
Head, there's no problem assembling the head.
Chest, skirt and I put on the foil sticker
Feet/leg
With the display stand
Rear view of the wings effect
Some poses without the wings effect

Phew3!!

GN Drive/cover removed showing the container inside the body
Try to imitate the O Gundam gimmick in the Gundam OO anime series :)


As I said earlier, I would like to share a bit of pros and cons about this kit. The good part is, this kit comes with the wings effect and it's definitely good. The color of the plastics is solid/vivid and it's almost accurate as bandai's kit color scheme. The runners is molded on their respective part. Alright, here comes the problem, as usual, most of bootleg gunpla kit will definitely 'out' in terms of accuracy in each parts. Eg: the chest vent, it's not really fit and still have a gab. This kit I would give 5/10 and I don't regret to have it ^^ Any questions or comments? Do leave your comment section. Thanks for dropping by :)
