What's in the box? - 1/100 HG Deathscythe Hell

I'm a huge fan of all Deathscythe kits, especially this one. It looks like nothing else and it's one of the most evil looking "good guy" gundams. With all of the Wing Master Grades coming out, I'm unrealistically optimistic that this will be this will be one of them. So until that day, I'll just have to settle with this kit. On to the box!


As you can see in the images above, the kit was made in 1996 and goes for 1800 yen. However, being an older kit, it's not hard to find it for cheaper.  So in the box, you get 8 runners.

The first plate is the B plate. Not sure what happened to A. I assume A is for the 1/100 HG Deathscythe. The B plate is all white and mostly the leg parts.


Next up, the plate is the C plate.This contains the grey pats. Mostly for the joints, backpack, and manipulators. 


On to the D plate. This has all of the clear green effect parts. I believe this is the same as the HG Deathscythe. 


The next plate is the F plate. Once again I assume E is for the HG Deathscythe. From here on out, I think these parts are unique to the Deathscythe Hell. This runner contains the dark blue armor for the skirt armor, head, shoulder, and arms. Looks like there's a ton of detail... too much detail for my tastes.


The next runner is the G plate. This is another dark blue runner. It contains all of the wing armor and the feet. Like the previous runner, these parts appear to have an excessive amount of detail. 


The sixth runner is the H1 plate. This is another grey runner. It has random armor and weapon parts.


The second to last runner is the H2 plate. This is a gold plate. Not happy at all with this plate. A lot of the gold appears to have rubbed off. Makes them look really bad with the silver undercoat showing through. Not sure how to remove this stuff for painting, but I'll worry about that later.


Last plate is poly caps (PC-111). These appear to be your standard set of poly caps.


With all of the runners are some foil stickers. These look ok, I suppose. I wont be using them, so I don't really care about these.


And as always, at the bottom is the instruction manual. This manual is smaller than a newer 1/100 HG/NG kit. Even with that the artwork looks pretty good. Not much in the way of action poses, suggesting that this guy has very limited articulation. But that is too be expected with a mid 90's kit.





Well that's all. Hope this was helpful.
