Review: Gundam glory - This gundam is great and it was perfect to customise. That’s five stars from me
Review: Very tough build but worth it. - Probably my toughest build so far and this is my 5th MG 1/100. It comes with fairly sturdy stand that takes the full weight of the Gundam and with it’s accessories attached. IMPORTANT! You really need to read through ALL the instructions at least once BEFORE starting your build. Especially the legs and arms. It is fairly forgiving when it comes to mistakes. Just read and then read again when following instructions. Take it slow and steady, the end result makes it all worth it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent product and services.
*by R***R on 28 December 2019*

I enjoy building my previous model high grade and now I am going to enjoy building the master grade which is going to be epic but equally as difficult. I am very grateful of the service done by the provider. They help me a lots of problems that faces during the postage, which it didn't inculcate for some reason. I will highly recommend buying from here and the quality of these product are top gun. In future I will be buying from here again.
