MG 1/100 Gundam F91 Ver.2.0 (Harrison Madin Custom) — a focused build and display profile

What this kit delivers for builders

The MG 1/100 Gundam F91 Ver.2.0 presents a reworked proportion and inner-frame approach compared with earlier F91 releases. This version emphasizes mechanical detail, clearer color separation on runners, and stronger articulation in shoulders, hips, and ankle assemblies—traits that benefit modelers who plan to pose and display the finished kit. The Harrison Madin Custom markings and decal sheet provide alternate visual options without altering the core engineering of the kit.

Engineering and articulation overview

The Ver.2.0 engineering centers on an articulated inner frame typical of Master Grade kits: separated torso cage, waist swivel, and multi-jointed shoulder assemblies. Shoulder units rotate and lift to expand shoulder range; elbow and knee joints use a multi-part construction that improves clearance for deep bends. Leg design includes pronounced ankle articulation and rear skirt/vent mobility that supports grounded stances and flight-style poses. The kit’s joint tension is generally firm for static displays while still allowing dynamic positions when handled carefully.

Parts fit, color separation and undergating

Runner layout on this MG favors color separation, reducing the need for aftermarket paints for basic builds. Most major panels are split across runners to minimize large paint-required areas, and undergating has been applied selectively to keep visible seams clean. Expect good part fit with minimal stress marks; some thin panel lines and small seam edges remain and respond well to light sanding and careful filling if you want a smoother finish.

The MG F91 Ver.2.0 Harrison Madin Custom is a practical MG for builders who value poseability and clean part separation. It balances detail and assembly effort—suitable for those who want a display-ready result with room for modest painting and decal work.

Accessories and display options

Standard armament typically includes the rifle, beam sabers, and shield components consistent with F91 kits; the Harrison Madin Custom release includes distinct marking options and waterslide or dry-transfer decals. Integrated mounting points and a compatible 1/100 display base interface allow for flight and action poses—check the included parts list for the dedicated display connector if you plan to use an action base.

Customization potential and painting notes

The kit’s part separation and runner color layout make it friendly to selective painting and panel detailing. Small trim parts and clear pieces are ideal for selective metallic or gloss finishes. Decal placement is straightforward, and the surface accepts light sanding before primer without compromising the injected detail.

Build complexity and recommended tools

Build Level: Normal. Basic toolset recommended: side cutters, hobby knife, sanding stick, tweezers. The kit is accessible to builders with some MG experience but can be completed by careful first-time MG assemblers.

Surface prep, painting and finishing notes

Simple prep steps: light sanding of nubs and seams, panel lining to emphasize engraved detail, apply decals, and finish with a topcoat. These steps are optional but will noticeably improve the finished appearance for display.
