Taking One of 2022’s Best Kits to the Next Level
Introducing the MGEX Strike Freedom Gundam from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED DESTINY!
Professional modeler Naoki Kimura reviewed the kit and created an example that uses the metal expression of the frame as much as possible and creates a heavy feeling with matte coats and washing. The number of details is further increased by adding details to the exterior parts, starting with the original mold of the kit.

“Infinite Justice” with Updates that Live Up to the MGEX Title
Introducing an example of the MG Infinite Justice Gundam, a famous kit that went on sale in 2008!
Professional modeler TONKA’s example has been updated to match the details of the MGEX Strike Freedom Gundam. The Infinite Justice Gundam’s whole body has been highly detailed so that it can stand beside the Strike Freedom Gundam without looking out of place.
