Expert Review

This kit is the MG exterior clear parts version released to commemorate Gundam's 30th anniversary. It's essentially the same contents as the original kit, with just one extra clear runner thrown in. In other words, it lets you choose between standard armor and clear armor for certain exterior parts — so for the basic kit features, please refer to the normal version review. This review only covers the added clear parts.

MG Hyaku-Shiki Review

◆ Coverage and Effect

One shoulder and arm, part of the shins, and the feet have been made clear, with the rear skirt beam saber mount and the thigh pipe mount thrown in as a bonus. Since the original kit itself had a rather sparse internal frame to begin with, there's barely anything to see through the clear parts. For the most part, you're just looking at the skeletal structure inside or the back face of the inner armor — so the effect of going clear isn't all that impressive, honestly.

◆ Difficulty of Swapping

It's actually trickier to swap parts than it looks. The snap-fit connections are quite tight, so you need to be careful. Especially when switching from clear parts back to standard armor, there's a good chance the locking pins could snap — so I'd recommend going slowly and carefully while following the manual.

◆ Overall Impressions

The clear parts aren't distributed in any consistent way, and there's barely any see-through effect to speak of, so the value of this as a clear kit is pretty low. On top of that, since the original kit is already covered in gold plating, the standard armor actually ends up looking better than the clear version ^^; It's probably best to think of it as a bonus item that's nice to have but not really missed if you don't.
