MG ZAKU II MS-06S - CRYSTAL VERSION - PART ONE: Opening the box

Ordered at the end of December with a bunch of other Gunplas finally my Zaku has arrived.
This Crystal Version was part of a set of three MGs, RX-78-2, ZAKU II MS-06F/J, and my ZAKU II MS-06S. The set came out in 1996 so I will work with quite an old model.

Let's take a look at the box:


Inside the box are 10 runners, 5 springs, a set of water decals, a set of stickers and a set of dry transfers.

Naturally there is also the instruction manual and a very nice manual about the Crystal Versions released.



Unfortunately some parts broke from the sprue during the transportation and this could be a mess because everything is made of clear parts that, if not treated correctly, leave an horrible white damage after removing the nub.

From a first look at the runners I have to say that i am impressed y the amount of details of every piece.
Being the skeleton transparent too I thought that it was less detailed.

Instead i am not so happy about the parts that are not transparent (hands mainly) they are made of a soft plastic and they present imperfections (little holes).
