ZGM F-X10A Freedom
Got this 1/100 kit online for 20 quid with free shipping. Absolutely hated building it, the tolerances were awful making it extremely frustrating to put together. Ended up just cutting and snapping (with the help of some pliers to force some pieces together) so please ignore the nub marks haha. Parts had a lot of overspill(?) from the casting process that required cleanup, and some strange staining on some parts?
It did come with a stand, but it wasn't adjustable, and if you pose it in basically any actiony way it just flops forwards (I ended up gluing some metal chain links on the bottom to weigh it down)
The water slide decals were pretty good quality but there was zero guide on how to apply them in the manual, which was just printer paper stapled together 😭
Even with all the issues, I kind of fell in love with the design and decided to finish it with a layer of top coat.
I wouldn't buy this again.. there's a reason bandai is on top and the quality shows in the building process, but she is a pretty kit now that she's finished!
