HG 1/144 Dahack OOB & mini review

Built this last week. Start liking the design because of the model kit.

OOB without any sticker.
You can see the colour separation for this kit is excellent. 

Back

The detail is well above average for a HG kit.
Notice all that small details on the grey piece.

 
Foot

 

Same height as HGUC Gundam but Dahack seems smaller due to tiny joints and heels.

The face piece is tiny as well.
Though two square details beneath the eyes are fuzzy and almost unrecognizable, which is common for Bandai kits to miss some fine details here and there. 


When I saw the online OOB pictures, I thought the yellow parts all had rounded and undefined shape.
Turned out the yellow vents under the chest are relatively sharp. 
Almost like scratch-built ones.

With stickers and some paints.

One major flaw for this kit is that the arm has less than 45 degree side way movement.

 

New beam saber effect part from SB-15 runner, can only be found in some G-Reco kits. 
Comparison with SB-6 beam (pink one), the most common beam saber in HGUC kits.  
 
Love how the beam shield is generated from hand.

Dahack somehow reminds me of the Gadessa family in Gundam 00.


If only Bandai would release Dharma, the outer shell of Dahack.

Overall, Dahack is a very high quality HG kit well worth the price (1800 yen). 
Strongly recommend picking this up if you are a fan of the series or anyone who likes interesting design with nice details and won't be bothered by the limited articulations.
