The HGUC Nightingale is the penumbra of all the flaws of the RE/100 kit and is specifically made by Bandai to be the Nightingale you want! Monstrously proportioned and still properly handsome, you’d never think something so big and complex can come as a kit so consumer-friendly.
That’s not to say they ironed out all the kinks, and there certainly are a few odd ones, so come find out how it stacks up overall, and why something so big, so expensive, and a design so niche can also be such an easy recommendation for any model fan, experienced or new!
Make sure to check out the companion reviews as well!

I'm really happy that bandai has been pumping out bigger kits! From Hathaway's Flash, back to Zeta with the Baund Doc, to Gundam Sentinel with the MKV. Now we get this thing and it's frankly great! A tiny part of me is hoping we get the Psycho Gundam MK-II or the Big Zam at 1/144 scale. Even though that might be asking too much -_-

Even though it's on the small side. However, I'd also be extremely satisfied with the Big Zam seeing as it's the BIG ZAM.

Ok......you know what? I still like the RE/100 a lot proportionaly but I definitely agree those thrusters look way too tiny and those binders arent in the best of positions. Id never seen art of the nightingale before, only the Re/100 kit and on its own merits it still looks pretty awesome imo but the hguc definitely looks more accurate. I also didnt like this hguc in pictures.....but seeing it here being manipulated etc really changed my mind, this really seems like an all round awesome kit. I wasnt bothered by the lack of gimmicks on the Re/100 but yeah its undeniable that its better with em :P You didnt completely dissuade me from liking the old RE/100 though haha. I still like it with all of its sins even if have to admit this one is better :) Really surprised by how close the penelope comes in size btw, did not realize it and the nightingale were similarly sized. Thanks for the great informative review as usual :)

@HobbyClubhouse 3 жыл бұрын

This proves you're truly a fan of the RE/100 kit and not simply swept up by it simply being a model of the Nightingale:) I think it was also largely seamless, which is really crazy when it's so much bigger. And it's actually only a few hundred yen more than this kit so they really had to fit a lot into a tight budget Glad you enjoyed the review, as usual:)

@ApenBaard 3 жыл бұрын

@@HobbyClubhouse appreciate the reaction^^ Yeah, I just love modelkits in general haha, dont *really* care what media they are from etc most of the times :).....I mean, im interested in where they come from, the lore, history etc, sure. And I can be curious if the modelkit looks like whatever it looked like in its original media too. But its not really part of the purchasing decision to me. I just as hapily buy kits from stuff I have no interest in if the kit is awesome, like hmm zoids. Or hexagear which are straight up original designs by kotobukiya. Or old "bad" kits to put next to new kits to marvel at the advancements the people in the injection molding industry have made.

I have seen some people display the Funnels with Bandai’s Figurise Jet Effect set, the same ones that come with the RG Nu Gundam Funnel Effect set, so I assume they were designed to work with that line specifically. It’s quite a bummer that those funnels won’t work with the usual 3mm connections now but the Figurise Effect line does carry some amazing and fairly priced display options so I suggest you check some of them out if you got the budget
