That’s a training GM from Ecole du Ciel. It’s one of the final resin kits that B-club released.
Although, iirc the resin kit was 1/144, and that’s 1/100, so that might be mostly scratch.

FERRARI GUNDAM TIME!!! ITS THE FUCKING G40!!! hope you love tiny pieces and incredibly impressive engineering without PC pieces but with added confusion!! IT FUCKING OWNED
first of all it comes with a slick 40th anniversary art book! COCKPIT DIAGRAM!!! you know we all think about what’s going on inside that tum, and now the mystery has been Solved
LETS BUILD
the head was so tiny, but so beautiful. I always appreciate when a toothpastes first step is getting the horrible tiny fucking eyes sticker on. fucking YES I want to get that out of the way as quickly as possible! how considerate of you Bandai. how benevolent. why yes I’ll slurp down a long thin matching metallic pink strip to stick along his helmet, ill chug that mess right down glug glug. please don’t pay attention to how I fucked up and had to paint it with my gunpla markers. it’s perfect, shut up
don’t listen to that waist diagram in the artbook, straight talk only in here. as with the beyond global, this ultra-poseable-felixble waist is infact VERY FRAGILE and the red pieces will split and possibly explode every time you put your boy in a new pose, but guess what ITS WORTH IT (not hard to get back together), and also really impressive to see what they’re going for. I don’t think they’ll ever solve gundam waist, but I hope they keep trying
beep beep vroom vroom my chest is a car
flex flex my muscles are so strong and my arms so posable

HERE COMES MY BIG BLOCKADE! here comes an hour of pressing and pulling and bruising my delicate princess fingertips
THE GODDAMN FEET
I dont know how to explain it well at all. that c32 piece slides inside one part of the foot so you can wiggle it back and forth, but you can also POP it out a bit (the first time it happened and I was able to fucking finish this step I THOUGHT I BROKE SOMETHING )
that piece was like pushed all the way back but you can also SNAP it back out to make the heel more bendable
its neat, it gives the feet a LOT of flexibility, but holy shit I wanted to scream. it was absolutely the most frustrated I’ve ever been building so far, but once again, WORTH IT
I can’t help myself but to paint the tiniest stupidest shit silver
after the feet were over with everything else was kinda cake! look at this leeeeeg. the little square at the top actually pops out to extend the legs so you can pose around the skirt! the shin rotates!!! THIS MECHA DOES NOT SKIP HIS SQUATS
honestly I’m still not done with the weapons and shield but I always get SO EXCITED when the body is finished and I can stand them up and move them around
just so charming and sweet

working on that a taul!!! it comes with WIRES. all my favorite kits either come with rubbery tubes or WIRES
there are some wires that are grey plastic though and I didn’t realize til I had the legs together, so I painted them messily but it looks great from a normal lookie loos distance
he’s in temporary storage right now til I set up my desk again and BUILD MORE TONIGHT

okay. it’s pretty as long as I don’t touch it. the arm pegs were NOT fitting into the pc pieces in the shoulders WHATSOEVER (@MintyJuffowup did you have this problem?) so I turned the pc pieces inward and just kind of shoved the arm pegs in the square hole that made, so they’re INCREDIBLY LOOSE. might put some sticky tack or mr putty (which I did for the horizontal back wing ball joints cuz they were wiggly as fuck. now they stay where I put them beautifully) on the pegs so they just stick in there. I broke the left knee plate so it’s glued in place and not on a hinge anymore. the wire went in one of its shoulder holes easily but the second hole wouldn’t take it, so I shaved the wire down to make it fit. I love it but i never want to touch it again
