Completed build of the P-Bandai set Gundam Stormbringer F.A./GM Turbulence that I luckily pre-ordered on the US P-Bandai site before it got OOS. This is the Stormbringer with the GM head and the gun trigger removed because it looks better w/o it.
This kit was hella fun. Not as sturdy or as balance impressive as the GM Dominance Philip’s Custom, but I definitely like the colors better here because we three-toned the green to Zaku FZ green, a darker green and lighter green. The Stormbringer F.A. parts with the GM head is the way to go. The GM head is definitely a lot cooler but its parts are kinda bland compared to the cool-ass shoulder cannon and the long ‘ZZ-esque’ shoulders. The waist is somehow not as nicely tight like our other GMs, and for some reason the right arm has gotten weak that it droops down when trying to put the gun up.
Because I don’t like Bandai waterslides, I put my own third-party white decals for most of the decals you see, but then I ran out and used some of the decals from the sheet. Fortunately, they were fine besides like one decal falling off. I also didn’t put the Card decals on, because I find it completely baffling that the group name behind this kit are called the V-Cards. Then again, the series behind this kit is called Gimm and Ball’s World Championship, so they knew.
Overall I had no issues beside just one little thing.
WHO THE IN THE FUCK DECIDED TO USE MOTHERFUCKIN’ SD POLYCAPS FOR THE PROPELLANT TANKS
I fucking hate those.
