Contributor: Sergio Oliveira Date: January 15, 2004 The G-Saviour is a great kit. It was easy to make and looks great when finished. The instructions were easy to follow and even those that didn't like the movie will enjoy the finished product.
The head is made of 4 pieces and a polycap. It's one of my favorite parts on the model due to its navy blue"V" antenna. The only problem is the elongated back. Its prevents the model from looking up, but still looks great.
The torso uses the only red part for the cockpit. The fins on the back look great and don't really do anything but add weight on the model. It has a little slot for its beam saber and uses yellow stickers for the vents. I decided not to put them on mine because I prefer to paint it.
The arms are beautiful. A lot of people don't like the lack of armor, but I think it looks great. It adds a sense of light weight and speed to the suit, and compliments its space mode. The shoulders are an unusual design but add to the uniqueness of the model.
The legs are also missing armor in the top region, but the skirt armor in the front and sides make it look great. The feet are also well designed and made up of a lot of moving pieces.
There are only two weapons and one shield. The beam saber and shield are made up of a light blue soft plastic. The gun looks standard to any mobile suit of its time, and its shield doesn't seem like it could protect anything but the arm its on.
Overall this is a great kit as well as my favorite. If people can get past the movie, Bandai might have made the terra mode, but the space mode was the only kit made for the HG G-Saviour line. Apart from the weapons anyone could enjoy this kit. Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 stars <<back to Gundam |
