The 30th anniversary edition basically means it comes with clear molded plastic parts that allow you to display your kit with the inner mechanism showing. I paint all my Gundams and ended up not using any of the clear plastic parts.
I had always wanted a Gouf Custom but never got it so I was inspired to paint this with the colour scheme of the Custom.
I experimented with mixing some faskolour paints (usually used for polycarbonate bodies) and they came out pretty good. I especially loved the creamy light blue.
This mech looks great. The body proportions make it look bigger and tougher than it really is. It features an eye mechanism that automatically swivels when you move its head.
It is quite basic when it comes to armaments. It has finger canons, a beam sword and shield and a heatrod.
It was fun to build but sanding many of the round parts (such as the head rod pieces and the pipes) was tiring and can become a chore.
This kit uses the 2.0 frames so posability of this kit is good but the larger and bulkier pieces of its leg armor will prevent you from modelling it in extreme poses. It has no problems kneeling or 'tebowing' though.
There is nothing fancy about this MG Gouf kit but there is just something about it that manages to engage and hold your attention.
It looks great and there is just so much u can do with it despite its limited weapons and gimmicks. A true surprise for me as it has quickly become one of my favourite kits.
Verdict: Highly Recommended - Its beauty lies within its simplicity
