Bandai Hobby MG Jesta Model Kit, 8"

Bought son for birthday

Got for other half and he likes it. I’ve just asked if he was happy with it and his response “one of those things to do when I get to retire”.......he’s only 45 HA HA HA HA

I wish I could build a body like the Bandai jesta as easily as this kit came together.

This was my first MG gunpla and it's a great starting place if you want more than a HG.

Great kit to build and I believe one of the better looking gunpla's you can get.

Colour seperation is excellent and the parts fit together very well. Excellent build.

An amazing kit for the price but I'd say this is maybe not for beginners if only because the hands are a little fiddly

This kit surprised me of how good it is you can add a led into the chest for affect

Mon garçon est ravi. Parfait je recommande

Éste modelo, a pesar de tener casi 6 años desde que se produjo por primera vez tiene poco que pedirle a Master Grades más modernos como el MG GM (sea Sniper II, Colony type o cualquier variante de GM) o el MG Jegan, por ejemplo, podría usar mejor articulación en los pies, pero por lo demás, incluso siento que los modelos anteriormente mencionados deberían aprender de su antecesor. Por ejemplo: las manos 100% articuladas, la posibilidad de incluir una unidad LED para iluminar el visor, y su separación de piezas. Todo está tan bien diseñado que es uno de los pocos modelos MG que siento que NO necesita un 2.0 Recomiendo a todos los modelistas que no tengan uno que lo consigan, porque francamente merece la pena.

Ho montato diversi Gundam MG. Questo è semplicemente stupendo, uno dei miei preferiti. Rispetto ad altri MG è abbastanza semplice, quindi lo consiglio come primo master grade da montare, ma in fatto di estetica è favoloso. Al suo interno offre la possibilità di inserire una luce che illumina gli occhi (non compresa, ma costa una fesseria), ha stickers e decals ad acqua (vi consiglio di usare solo queste). In ogni posa in cui lo metti rimane, è solido, cattivo e ben progettato. Ogni volta che lo guardo è una gioia per gli occhi

This model is a fun and easy build. It took me 3 days to build but it could be done in a lot less time as I worked on it for a few hours each day. It was my first Master Grade model and honestly it wasn't that bad. I built only four other models so far with 2 being HG and 2 being Entry grade, this switch to a higher grade wasn't too bad it just took a bit longer to build. Most people complain about the hands but I didn't find them too bad, it seems like the hands vary in quality from model to model. Some people say they fall apart from the slightest touch while I found mine to be perfectly fine. But if you do somehow break the hands you could probably find some spares or pre-built hands online. The biggest problem I had with this model is the little yellow insignia on the groin area. It was probably the hardest part to put in because its such a small piece that has a little nub that needs to go into a very small hole. It wasn't complicated but since I couldn't get a grip on it using my tweezers or fingers I had to put some adhesive onto my finger to put it in easier. It's not so much a design problem because its a to scale model it can't be any bigger than it already is. The model over all was amazing and fun to build and was extremely posable plus its weapons are amazing and it has a lot of detail but isn't too hard to build.

My second Master Grade kit, and a fantastic one at that. My first MG was something of an annoyance, as it had a design that involved either very complicated construction with lots of small parts, or was slightly flimsy once completed. This kit, on the other hand, is very solid, both in its construction and in its posability. The knees and elbows incorporate some clever design in order to bend past the limits of the armor's limitations, without sacrificing its stability. The whole kit just radiates good design. As with all recent Master Grades, however, I would advise anyone looking to purchase to be mindful of the hands. Being fully articulate, they can be very delicate, so be very careful breaking in each knuckle joint. On top of that, Shop Takam (my prefered buyer in this case) has once again managed to see a kit reach me well over a week before the estimated arrival date, something that not many other imports have managed, especially considering this was ordered during the holiday season.
