Review: RG's Latest Release - Ok, first off, I have built all of the Real Grades, rx-78-2, and Zaku. THe Aile Strike is the thrid release in the line. Super detailed!! Very poseable! Lots of parts, and movement! OK, I'll keep this quick and compare it to the previous two releases. THis kit is high quality, and I love the design, since it has super detail. It's a bit pricey, but it's more detailed I feel than a 1/100 size. It took less time to build than the other RG's. Has a kickin' backpack flight unit! I really like the new-age modern design of the mech suit. Looks great! Bottom line, not for little kids to build, and you should have a few models under your belt before building this. Unless you have very good patience. Get a nice set of snippers, and a nice hobby knife. LOTS OF PANEL LINES TO BRING OUT DETAIL!!! Hope this helped some. If you like building Gundam models, and it won;t break your bank account, go for it dude! Check out all the cool reviews on Youtube about it, if you are still skeptical! Thanks, and hope you have a good day!
Review: and it looks like it will be a great build - I have started panel lining on this one, and it looks like it will be a great build. I also have the Skygrasper that goes with this model, so I really can't wait to build both, and display them next to one another. Although I have not built the Aile Strike yet, I will say that it is leaps and bounds better looking than the HG version, but I guess that's a no brainer. The quality of the plastic can be seen and felt, the decal sheet is better than a lot of MG kits, and the detail looks to be better than my MG Strike Rouge (I ended up buying the RG Strike Rouge). One of the points I want to make is that with the exception of the details, there really is nothing to paint. That's a good thing, because the HG version, as good as it is, has too many things to paint whereas the RG version has the same parts, but molded in gray. Some people complain that these models are no good to play with. Well, people, did you ever think that these kits are made for display, and not to be handled. This is also not for kids. Don't buy this for a kid less than10, or 11 years old. I highly doubt there are many kids at that age who are master modelers.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How complex is this Mobile Suit? Do I need to have more experience to make it than most other gundams?**
A: It's far more complex than your normal HG style Gundam kits. It's about the same complexity as an MG kit. I wouldn't say it requires much experience, though. The only real problems you might run into are with tiny parts like the hands and skirts. I found that they were a little difficult to piece together, and fell apart without glue.But it's really a great kit, and turns out very lovely. The decals are a little tough to put on; I recommend tweezers.

**Q: Does the kit come with the 2013 GUNPLA X GUNDAM.INFO NEW YEAR Campaign card**
A: I got an RG Exia on my local store and it came with that Gundam.Info book. The saleslady even asked me if what year 2013 or 2014. In Amazon I do not know.

**Q: Is there a way to RG expansion parts to make this into the Perfect Strike Gundam?**
A: They made a P-Bandai addon set to make the RG Aile Strike into the Perfect Strike.

**Q: What tipe of hands does it have**
A: It has the RG manipulator hands where the fingers move.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun build, very good looking on the shelf
*by R***R on April 3, 2014*

This kit is a serious kit. It has the complexity of a new master grade and some older perfect grades. However, do not let this intimidate you. Yes, the pieces are small and the directions Japanese, but the pictures are easy to follow and even a first time builder like myself had no trouble putting it together fine. The color seperation and overall accuracy makes this somewhat simple design really pop. It comes with tons of very small stickers which are of a varying quality. The larger decals can make parts look foggy if they're clear, however, that can be minimized with a q tip and some careful placement. The foil stickers on the other hand are pretty great, however, they tend to peel (at least the ones in the elbows, the rest are fine). That's also an easy fix if you just take a dab of super glue on a qtip to the adhesive side The articulation is wonderful, but really what do you expect from a real grade? The hands are finicky. The master grade style hands have issues holding the gun, making the peg a nonoptional part. Unlike later models, the beam rifle doesn't come with a peg in it - its a seperare piece which you can slide in and out. It's unique and ambitious but ultimately it doesn't work out too well. It's very finicky, likes to move out of place, and it's fragile and losable. The small rings above the hands are also losable if you swap out your hands often. That being said the weapons look great, the Strike stands up fine on its own with them, the shoulders are stiff enough to do the 'SEED pose' in the picture. However, it can't stand up with the aile pack unless you do an awkward pose, but let's face it, this thing begs for an action base 2 anyway. It also has lots of play options if you buy the additional packs and skygrasper, too. Very recommendable kit if you're a fan of the series or if you just like gunpla!
