The polycaps used to attach the weapon arms to the backpack are the same ones used to attach the Build Burning's arms to the torso. They don't do a good job there either, the arms love falling off which gets annoying since as a martial arts suit you'll be moving the arms a lot.
The base kid is pretty good if you take all the accessories off and repaint it. The rocket pods are pretty dope but Dual Cannons look a little silly and the giant Gatling guns don't really come off as practical
Do you still have this kit or the black warrior Zach? Do the ball joints on the backpack fit the shoulder polycap? Your opinion is opposite on the two reviews. So I take it that you have grown to love this kit? :D
I have another trick for you to try out with this kit that you probably wouldn't have considered. if you remove the side skirt armor you'll find that they're attached with a peg the same size as all of the holes on the weapons. you can mount the gun swords there like holsters or you can take the articulated arms off of the back pack and mount them there which actually makes it much easier for the kit to hold the weapons. then you have the option of mounting two other weapons on the backpack in addition to the kit holding one weapon in each hand. also I know you're always disappointed with the lack of hand options on HG kits. there is a build custom weapon set that is just 36 hand options. vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/gundam/images/9/9b/HGBC_Jigen_Build_Knuckles_'Kaku'.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20150620095126
+Jango The Blue Fox Thanks for the tip with the side skirts! I hadn't thought about that! That hand set I know comes in three different sizes, so it would really just be 12 for the correct size I need. Divided by 2 (left and right hand) I would have 6 options. Still a lot better than what's included with this kit!
ZakuAurelius you're welcome, that trick is actually from the instructions for the kurenai build custom weapon set so that you can use those weapons on kits that don't have the proper back pack but it also works really well on Red Warrior to arm him up with all of his weapons. since Jigen Build Knuckles is a build custom kit you should be able to use them on alot of recent kits. ^_^
ZakuAurelius everyone thought you were sick LOL! You do sound a little bit groggy to be honest but as you said you were tired and this comment is a year late
+mabuchiii tv (Mayuyu u) Probably not unless I get it for free. I have the MG, and it's basically the same but smaller. Plus the HG is gloss injected white, which I really do not like.
I should be really thankful to Bandai for making this Perfect Gundam III-based unit an actual kit.
Been digging this design since I saw that MS.

If it were cheaper, it would be great for custom armor. I personally love the beam tonfa things I want them on all my kits.
His bazooka looks a lot like primes gun.
yes it was a good kit , the only thing i would have change is the arms ad added the arms of GM Cardian or a shorter vesion of the weapon arms
its basically black warrior in red ?
I have had a lot of fun with my leopard DaVinci articulated arms.

Prices for this kit are in the $60 and up range when you can get the MG version for less!
It's 2023, both HG and MG have insane prices right now, at least in my country.
Sometimes, its hard to believe that its almost 10 yrs since GBF.
Get well soon Z.A.
+zargent42 .Z42 I'm fine! Haha, just tired and I have seasonal allergies.
Still don't know what the sk stand for
I wonder if kitbashing g30 and the amazing red warrior will somehow create an updated rx-78-2
still sounds a bit sick but i like your determination fora new video ! looking forward for the MG and Barzam conversion again LD
+Budi kurniawan Not sick, just tired/allergies! But thanks for the concern.
sk: sandaime kawaguchi ?
+Fshop fshop it actually stands for Shiro Kyoda, the pilot of Perfect Gundam 3 in the Plamo-Kyoshiro manga.
+Jango The Blue Fox ← owesome !!

Bad nubs much?
+jayruhmeezy Indeed!
Will you ever review the hg full cloth?
