BANDAI SPIRITS Figure Kits 2203511 Editorial Review
The Bandai Hobby - Z Gundam - #157 Messala HGUC 1144 Model Kit has earned rave reviews among enthusiasts for its unique design, interesting building experience, and impressive display options. Many builders appreciate the kit as a refreshing departure from typical gunpla models, which can feel repetitive due to similar parts and assembly techniques. The Messala stands out with its innovative transformation mechanism, allowing it to display in both Mobile Armor (MA) and Mobile Suit (MS) modes, although the transformation process requires some effort and part swaps. Customers noted that the dimensions of the model are notably larger than most other High Grade (HG) kits, appearing closer to a Master Grade (MG) in terms of size and build complexity. This makes the Messala not only visually striking but also an imposing addition to any collection. The quality of the parts and overall design received high marks, although some builders pointed out that the colors are slightly softer than depicted on the box art. Therefore, a touch of paint, especially for the thrusters and some detailing, is recommended for a more polished finish. One of the highlights of this model is the included stand, which is praised for its versatility. It not only supports the weight of the back-heavy kit but also neatly stores many of the extra parts, making it easier to manage and pose the model. Despite its size and impressive accessories, some customers found posing the kit a bit challenging due to its bulk and transforming structure. However, the inclusion of multiple claws and missile pods adds to its visual appeal and functionality. Overall, the Messala HGUC 1144 Model Kit is highly recommended for fans of the Zeta series and anyone looking for a more unique build. It's Considered a great value for its price point, touted by reviewers as a fantastic model kit that delivers in aesthetics and enjoyment. **
