IMS 1/100 L.E.D. MIRAGE V3 SINGLE Ver.

The LED wiring in the Mirage V3 is way cleaner than I expected for a 1/100 kit, and at 280mm tall it really commands the shelf. Took me a few evenings to get through the parts, but the fit on the armor panels was tight with barely any cleanup.

507 parts sounded intimidating, but the fit on the armor panels is so precise that I barely needed cement in places. At roughly 280 mm tall it's got serious shelf presence, and the LED gimmick actually looks good lit up in a dim room.

The molded detail on the armor panels is incredible for a plastic kit, really brings the design to life. I just wish the instructions were a bit clearer on a couple of the inner-frame steps.
