This is suppose to be the cheapest Gundam kit ever at its time (around NZD $5), therefore we really can't expect it to have all the cool features of a Master Grade kit. Take a look at the instruction manual, a leg is made up of only 6 pieces.
But a simple kit like this offers the greatest opportunity for modification. So here we go, start from the bottom up.
The Leg!
This is what it looked like before the modification. Actually this is about half way into a failed attempt, but the knee portion remain untouched. It could only bend 90 degrees, which is really poor.
Now, the new version! Looks about the same.
And it starts bending...
Note how the top portion of the leg armor also move along, pretty similiar to some Master Grade kit.
The knee armor moves too...
Ok.. I couldn't hold my camera steady, definitely need more coffee..
Some details..
Most of the inner mechanism are not detailed.. that will be addressed later.
