I’m really excited about the MG Duel Gundam Assault Shroud. It seems I’ve been building MG Wing Kits for forever and it’s time for a change. SEED suit designs being some of my favourite I’m eager to get started on this big bad blue boy.
Box art looks awesome. I like how they’ve got the Assault Shroud and Shroudless version together. I actually prefer the look of the kit without the Assault Shroud but the illustration is magnificent.
Box Contents:
It’s your standard size MG box. Looking at this kit I am reminded of the MG Full Armor Gundam or maybe the MG Blue Astray.
Plenty of markings!
Manual:
I like this style of manual with the suit on a white background. Inside the manual is even cooler.
The manual starts with the suit then proceeds to the weapons. Once that is done, you get to do this:
The Assault Shroud.
If it rains on Saturday I will start on the Duel Gundam. If it is sunny on Saturday I will paint more of my Heavy Arms (and start on the Duel Gundam). Gonna be a good weekend.
Wow, the boxart is awesome!!! XD and so is the kit!
I noticed some dry transfers, but are the rest of the markings stickers?
Yes, they are marking stickers.
Do you mark the MG release dates on your calendar or something? It seems like you always have a post like this right at their release date.
@Jeff, well he DOES work at HLJ…
Hey Syd, I could see this being the War Machine to your Iron Man ReZel!
No, I’m not going to use this kit for a War Machine. I don’t know if I will do a war machine build as I’ve already moved on to other ideas and things I want to try. I already have something I want to try with this kit but I’ll do the straight test-build first and go from there.
man im so jealous. ive got a really good feeling about this kit.
why do i not remember this in seed lol
Did you see seed or seed destiny ?
haha ye both and the astray mange series and i must have been asleep most of the time coz this especially a shroud i do not remember lol i can remember theres a dual gundam but not this … i think i might watch seed again lol
Sounds like a reason to watch more Gundam to me
!
kit does look good. damn bandai for making great kits this early in the year. i just bought all 5 wing kits at once now i have to start buying seed kits lol. oh and age kits. good thing i make good money lol
Syd, you are a lucky duckling to work at hlj….. I must find a way to take your place… >:)
Very nice quick look, I just paid for my kit. Though it’s going to be a few weeks before it gets here from Japan. Once you get deeper into the kit, can we get some extra information on the new X-SEED runner, since I expect we’ll be seeing that one throughout the year in all the new SEED gunpla.
Last SEED kit = Sword Impulse?
This should be interesting.
hey syd, is the box for duel assualt the same size as the MG epyon EW?
Hey Pat,
Yes, they are about the same size. It’s the basic MG box.
