HG Kamiki Burning Gundam - WIP 1

 Gotta Love The Burn

With the work all done for the RG Zephyranthes, I have decided to take a break from RG and start a HG kit. The last HG kit was the HG Red Frame (Flight Unit) completed ten years ago. The reason I bought this kit was cause it comes with a katana and I am a sucker for anything with a katana.

Why did I decide to start with this kit? I needed an easy kit to start off and try my hands on brush painting. The most I have brush painted are small details (which I have forgotten how I did it 8 years ago) and this time round I want to try to brush paint an entire model kit. I have some SD in the backlog as well but had an itch to start this as well cause I am curious about the effect pieces.

Box art looks awesome

   
One of the side of the box shows the model front and back, details of the gundam and a brief summary of the storyline

    
The other side of the box has some action poses with the burst system

After looking at all the cool poses and effect parts makes me want to do go straight into the build. Upon opening the cover, the manual is the first thing you see.

Manual on top of the runners

   
The manual has a brief writeup of the pilot Sekai Kamiki. Open the manual and you are greeted with the various types of Burst effect which can be attached to the Gundam

All parts are removed from the runner into their respective boxes. The boxes have been 'upgraded' from the paper box to empty name card box
