I know I just praised the color separation a second ago, but there are a few exceptions that ultimately tip this into being a great kit instead of a perfect kit. Some foil stickers on this kit really spoil the whole thing. The two worst offenders are the yellow/gold on the shield and the beam rifle scope. Small foil stickers like the one on the groin and the two for the visor actually look decently fine. Large foil stickers are extremely difficult to lay perfectly flat and this shield is no exception. The beam rifle scope is rounded which is also difficult to place. However these two places aren't too difficult to paint so I opted to whip out the old brush and give it a go on my kit. The other big stinker, and unfortunately this is true for the entire SDCS line is that the hands are completely molded in one color plastic. While they don't look too bad, I also opted to paint the back of each hand white to bring it more inline with the RG and MG kits. Last, but certainly not least is the backpack. The backpack is just one giant blob of molded plastic with very little details. So even attempting to paint some of those details may be more trouble than it is worth.
