   Really good, but a lot of room to improve. Being a recent fan of the series, there was some excitement to see if there were plastic model kits of the Scope Dogs and, in the past, Bandai had produced some although finding one at the right price was difficult. So this made to be a perfect post-holiday gift, all things considered.
   
   After finishing the build nearly two weeks later, I can say that there's significant room for improvement in the overall product. It's very strong in its appearance and accuracy to the design mechanics of the series. The small Chirico for scale is also perfect for the model itself alongside the weapons included.
   
   The major issues I have is the possible errors within the model itself: some of the connected joints or pieces felt too loose for comfort, sometimes even falling apart rather quickly after being assembled. The Scope Dog's eye scope piece constantly likes to fall off and, without any alternatives to keep it on becomes frustratingly difficult.
   
   Another problem I've also ultimately discovered is that the additional weapon options for the RSC do not connect at all to the body due to a lack of the proper holes needed to support them. With that comes the hands needed to hold the weapon in place- they seem to be finnicky upon putting together and maintaining the hold onto the weapon, prompting me to silently return the pieces back into the box with the unused pieces still on the runner.
   
   Overall I would say that the kit was fun to build, but leaves a lot to be desired.
   
   A TL;DR provided below:
   Pros:
   - really fun, actually some great detailing
   - poseability is nice
   - weapon options is also nice
   - Plastic quality is better than I expected
   
   Cons:
   - there's some sort of QC issue where the extra options don't seem to have holes to connect (seems like there's some people who have this issue with the RSC Scope Dog)
   - little bit too loose for my own
   - Falls apart a little bit too easily as well
   - Hands aren't the greatest to hold the rifle

   I'm torn— When building older kits (this having originally been released in 2010-2011), I'm generally more forgiving of any flaws or issues—whether in articulation, colour accuracy, the amount of accessories, etc.—so while I noticed there some fitment issues & limited articulation while building this, I accepted it and happily carried on...
   
   ...until it came time to stick the full set of weapons (what makes it the 'Red Shoulder Custom' version to begin with) onto the kit. It was only then that I realised—there were no holes, no locations on the Scopedog's body or back of the forearms for the pegs on the weapons to go.
   
   I dug through the runners, trying to see if I used an incorrect part, but save for the alternate hands, wrist adapters, couple of polycaps and the other standard green shoulder—there simply weren't any
   
   The manual's diagrams assume the holes were there all along, and at no point made any indication that those needed to be done manually with a pin vise (which I don't have)—this is ostensibly a snap-build kit, not the type to normally require extra tools
   
   I can only chalk it up to manufacturer error, potentially accidentally swapped with the basic/another variant of the Scopedog's version of the runner(s)
   
   Overall, it looks sick, I had fun building it (up until that confusion), and am glad to have it—but I do not think I'll be dabbling in more Wave Corp. kits
