1/144 HG Shiranui Akatsuki Gundam

If you couldn't get enough of gold-plated kits with the Hyakushiki, now you can start collecting the Akatsuki! Very nicely-done with "mekki"-plating on the major parts (which of course can be removed if you prefer to paint your kits, by careful application of ordinary household bleach); all the parts snap together and don't require paint. Nifty clear effect parts for the Akatsuki's various weapons are included, which is a nice bonus. Gundam decals for markings, and foil stickers for the eyes, are also included.
