I have enjoyed everything about this product. The art work on the box is amazing and it has pictures of the finished kit in various poses. Putting this thing together was very enjoyable. It's just amazing to see how well the pieces are designed to snap together with no glue. I bought the Tamiya basic tool set to build this model. The side cutters are absolutely essential to remove the pieces from the plastic trees or sprues. I also used the hobby knife to remove excess plastic from the pieces. The instructions, as is most of the text on the box and the manual, are in Japanese but the pictures and numbers are easy to follow. It takes some patience to build . I would not recommend these kits for kids . It is definitely for teens and adults. I myself am in the "too old for toys" demographic. The only painting I did on it was some panel lines on the legs and head with a fine tipped black Gundam Marker. I am not an expert or experienced modeler and I don't know much about painting and finishing plastic models, though I would like to learn more. I think it looks very good without paint. I have yet to put on the decals. I will have to do some research on you tube because I am not sure how to put them on. Over all I am very happy with this purchase and I am definitely looking to buy another one. Here are some pros and cons: Pros: no glue or paint required. the attention to detail here is just phenomenal. The finished kit looks great and its fun to pose with different weapons . just a few cons: the robot looks great holding the massive gattling gun but it tends to fall off. Also it's difficult to attach the ammo belt without it falling off. be careful when posing the model, the antennae on the head are delicate.

Ottima qualità, bellissimo modello

Nice.

Très bon kit, agréable à monter et avec une vraie présence une fois terminé. Attention cependant : ce n’est pas la version originale du Heavy Arms Endless Waltz, mais une version alternative/revisitée. Malgré quelques différences de design, on reconnaît immédiatement le Heavy Arms avec son armement massif et son style très caractéristique. Certaines modifications sont intéressantes, notamment la Gatling qui n’est plus directement intégrée au bouclier mais séparée, ce qui donne une approche un peu différente du design tout en restant cohérente. Le plastique est de bonne qualité, le montage est agréable et le rendu final est vraiment réussi. J’ai personnellement ajouté un peu de peinture sur certains détails (notamment les missiles), donc le rendu visible sur mes photos n’est pas totalement celui d’origine du kit. Même en étant une version alternative, il garde très bien l’esprit et la présence du Heavy Arms.
