FRS FangJoker is honestly kind of bad. The W body is really outdated, with pretty much useless ankles, limited hips, and Bandai really went cheap not including more aggressive rage hands. The regular open hands are too docile. They really just made this kit to fill a quota rather than be a good model kit of the suit.

This was also my first time airbrushing. Not the greatest job but eh I'll improve. I really didn't do a good job on the nubs but honestly this kit wasn't really making me feel too particular about build quality.

Haha well you may say its not a good kit, but your work and these pictures make it look really good to be honest. Great job!

I'm inclined to agree. Far from my favourite kit.

My biggest issue (as someone who can't/won't paint) is the pearlescent white base plastic of the Fang halfbody. It doesn't look good.

Yeah the pearlescent white is ugly and I have no idea why they chose it. Fang is just white in the show. Bandai's white plastic also looks great, at least on their Gundam models.

This should've been an easy win but it really just feel like Bandai didn't care at all.

So not screen accurate in colour or appearance, but in texture? Weird choice.
