HGUC 1/144 Victory & V Dash Gundam molding defect

A head-up to anyone buying HGUC V or V-Dash Gundam.

Basically, all the panel lines on V gundam face is off-center (the mouth vents, the central and lateral grooves).

This defect is most apparent near the chin where you can see the central groove is not centered and the lateral grooves don't meet the chin at the same place.

  

Bandai had this problem in the original HGUC V gundam release but didn't bother to fix this molding issue so you will still get a crooked face in the recent V-Dash kit.
The additional Hexa head in V-Dash kit looks fine from online review pictures so you will at least get one good face out of two in this kit.

IMO, the original HGUC V Gundam becomes pretty much worthless unless you are buying it for kit-bashing or you know how to recast.
