HG Aerial [Permet score six].

Was not expecting the colors to be so different beyond the Permet channels. It fits with the color palette shift in the Grassley duel and gives it this really nice look overall. The clear pieces in the legs, chest, and backpack have this nice blue glittery effect to emulate the particle effect that shows up at higher Permet levels. Construction-wise it's still an Aerial so it's still great to build. I've done five sets of Aerial GUND-bits now and that's kinda funny to me.

at this point we're close enough that i'm comfortable putting something down (also apple music replay is live today and prompted me to take a look)

first row is my Three Favorite Of The Year, second row is all Also Really Fucking Good, third row is soundtracks/soundtrack adjacent

It's safe to pilot! It's reliable to use! It can fly! It can dance! Aerial!

Incredibly happy with how this turned out!! I still have the beam rifle and effect parts to paint but I wanted to finish this before the end of the month. This is my 2nd painted gunpla, and I tried to push myself a lot harder this time which I think paid off. Did a lot with masking this time around, I'm probably going to try and do some custom scribing or proportion mods for the next build club.
