Taking a small break from the Resin MG Freedom to make one of my favorite MS designs when I was a child- the Deathscythe Hell! Although I’d argue that this should have been its own standard release, I’m glad Bandai eventually got around to making this as well as the Altron kit in their TV designs. Those designs have been for the most part been ignored for the past two decades or so!

The kit for the most part is a standard HG build but missing a lot of the modern improvements Bandai has made with their most recent kits including better blending with their seamlines. What you’ll get here is the typical seamline straight down the forearm and legs which will need a bit of fixing to blend into the kit better. The wings for the most part are fine and dont completely weigh down the kit in terms of posing so you should be able to get some cool poses out! I think at some point I’ll have to pick up the Altron so that I can have both TV designs in my collection!
