This is what Full Mechanics always wanted to be. Simple on the inside, MG on the outside!

  • This gundam can HIGHLY benefit from a fully posable clawed 1/100 hands.
  • This should have been a Master Grade. I wouldn't mind waiting a bit longer if it means getting this as a Master Grade.
  • This lady truly deserves a MG. But, I’ll acknowledge this FULL M. It looks so good!! Even the box art is gorgeous!
  • @titan133760
    Mecha, if you want to correct mistakes on the gundam markers, I recommend soaking the part in 99% isopropyl alcohol. It will strip the paint easily and almost instantly, and won't harm the plastic. Also, if you want more precise paintwork with gundam markers, pour some paint on a paint pallette and use a fine brush to apply on the area you want to paint Finally, just get those third party waterslide decals like from Delpi Decal for your kits (avoid DL waterslides as the quality isn't good). They release them faster than Bandai and the quality is better
  • I dont get why people in the comments expect an MG this early. I get that Aerial's popularity almost warrants an MG but it doesn't have to be this early. Alot of people don't realize is that these incrementations will only make the next product better. I rather wait a few years than settle for a rushed Master Grade
  • Imagine how godlike the RG and MG gonna be. Let's not forget the PG if it happens.
  • Your runner tower is so neat, I've only really seen horizontal designs but the vertical one just makes so much sense to save space
  • @DeusNyx
    I'm so glad you reviewed this. I pre-ordered this with my local gundam shop without checking out any reviews! - just because it's Aerial! It looks beautiful!
  • @cturtles9514
    I mean this in a very nice way, thank you so much for not putting on that annoying performative voice anymore. The natural speaking vibe is so much more listenable and your content has gotten much better. Just grabbed the HG aerial not long ago but this does make me want to grab the FM one of these days.
  • @m_0714
    I'll gladly spend money if they ever release an FM Gundam Pharact, let alone an MG of it. That thing has a very interesting design.
  • given how good this is, im excited to see how the MG will turn out, cause they're 100% gonna make one given the show and the Aerials popularity.
  • @Andernol
    I think this and MG barbatos are gonna be the first Gunpla I get to get back into the hobby. I bought a few HGs years and years ago and they didn't really spark my interest that much, but now with the experience I have building and painting Warhammer I'm excited to get back into gunpla and actually do some customizing instead of just building.
  • @XiahouDun1225
    God damn, Witch From Mercury really bringing every grade to the next level. Let's see what they get up to when we get the MGs, RGs, and PGs.
  • This kit is proving to me overtime that Bandai will be investing more into standard FM kits versus MG in the future, simply due to cost and manufacturing. This was well designed, beyond my expectations, and beats out plenty of older MG kits for sure. FM may in fact become the standard 1/100 scale with builds like this at a fraction of what a MG would cost. Im hoping some of the other Gundams get the FM treatment as well, similar to how they did IBO.
  • Well, you convinced me to buy this kit. Just in time, too, because I snagged the only one left in the shop that I visited! That said, I'm fully supportive of Full Mechanics going in the direction of being superficially Master Grade quality, while removing the some gimmicks like the opening cockpits, because the lower price point and simpler build arguably increases their overall longevity and durability.
  • II really really like Aerial's desing, its really smart, smooth and stylish. the HG was a blast and it makes me happy that Gundam feels more alive than ever
  • @quizongilad
    I love the format and appreciate the build talking points.
  • @fawkes6352
    I remember the prologue showed part of an Lfrith-type inner frame, when the Vanadis Institute was constructing one of their Gundams. I imagine that Aerial's future MG is gonna involve one of those.
  • @dubborino979
    Really loving this new era of content, for once I don't mind a longer video and actually enjoyed it.
  • @CaneMcKeyton
    The Full Mechanics label doesn't bother me much. It's still a high quality 1/100 Aerial in the end
