Aile means Wings

So in June, i decided go spend some money.. and got myself 3 gundams.. and the 1st one was the GAT-X105+AQM/E-X01 Aile Strike Gundam .. the kit is pretty old.. back when SEED series was still airing back in 2002, the kit is released in 2003.

The Strike is one of the main of the five mobile suits Gundam from Gundam SEED series.. piloted by non other than Kira Yamato the protagonist of the series..

The reason why i bought this Gundam was cuz of the recent release of the RG Aile Strike Gundam. That really gave me the urge to get this MG kit, then there is the need to complete the SEED universe MG kits, and this kit comes with launch base stand.. :D

Here's the box of the kit. the oh so famous pose.. all gundams from seed tend to do this pose.. god knows why.. lolol...

*CLICK ON IMAGES TO ENLARGE*

See that blue thing on the right.. its a kind of poster thingy.. all the older MGs comes with it like the MG Wing Zero Custom, and a few more..
Strike without its Aile Striker pack.. tried the famous pose that it did in episode one and on the PG box.. this is as close i can get it to.. LOL
This is the fully assembled kit in action.. tried to follow the pose on the boxart.. and hey i got it!!! weeeeee...
"Kira Yamato, Srike, IKIMAS!!"
BEAM SABER!
"ATHRUNNN!!~~~~"
I bought this Gundam together with the MG Hi-Nu gundam at the Litt Takk warehouse sales in June, on the same day i collected my MG 00 Raiser which i've pre-ordered.. took me 4 days to assemble this kit. This kit is old so its rather simple to build. All around nice kit. Only complains i have on this kit issss... uhh lets see...

The ball jointed pelvis, means that over time, the ball joint will get loose due to the friction and thus the legs becoming loose. Bodoh BETOL..

Then there is the hands, there is no pegs to lock the rifle into place, so if the kit is being shaken by a bit, the rifle falls off.. LAME!!!!

Overall, this kit i give it an 8/10, i love the design, really makes me wanna get the RX-78-2 kit even more.. been hunting for it for a while.. sooner or later i'll get my hands on it.. weeee
