PERFECT GRADE EXIA LIGHTING MODEL

A couple firsts with this kit: First time building a perfect grade and first time painting the pilot figures. Gotta say, I enjoyed the hell out of it. About a year and a half after coming back into the hobby, I put my skills to the test. Still looking forward to improving! Kit review and build details following the image gallery. Enjoy!
