==== Thoughts ====

One of the first few Gundam kits that I built; around 2008 or 2009. This was painted in really poor spray cans, with details done in brush using Vallejo game colour. Decals are the basic included in-box stickers. It's not a pretty job by any means.

That all said, the Hazel is such an awesome, boxy, bulky design it's hard not to admire it. I had it on my office desk at work for //years//.

I like the Hazel Custom design so much that I (much, much later) bought the vastly over-priced MG Premium Bandai kit, which is partly based on the RX-178-2 MKII Gundam v2.0 kit, so it has much better movement and posing.
