this is what i love with MG kits. esp the recent ones. 'nawawala na ang seam lines'. hehehe. ;D
if you're referring on the seam lines on the MG Freedom's white armor parts, almost wala na sila. for example on the legs and thighs. the thigh armor parts are 2 components -- front and back parts. the seam lines are on the sides, which IMO, makes up for the panel lines on the side armors. which is cool btw. not like on HG kits, the thigh parts are made of left and right plastic parts. that's why you can see the seam lines/connection on the front & back. same also goes to the leg parts. it's a front and back parts din. so the 'seam lines' on MG kits becomes the 'panel lines' itself.
cool huh?
pahabol: the arm armor's pala are one-piece plastic part.

Wow! Really? I didn't know that! And here I was thinking that MG's were better than HG's only coz of the interior frame. Didn't know they made it as thought the seam lines are the panel lines. Does this also apply to the head sculpt of the Freedom? Seam line also just falls into place like a panel line? TIA! ;D

@qb: yep... no3ljm is correct, seamlines are barely visible in MG kits... those that are visible, are usually made to look as details... @no3ljm: thanks for the explanation bro... it would probably be hard for me to convey the idea, if i were to answer it myself... hehehe. hassle: i will still try to add to my transformable list... hopefully i can add more... the strike rouge was actually one of my options before... i was choosing between strike rouge, freedom and zeta v2... Zeta v2 won... that started my transformables list... atleast now i have my 3 choices... hehehe. -wel

Chainer no prob, bro. will look forward to your finished MG Freedom. happy building.
ninja seamlines on Freedom's head? i think, there's one on each side you need to erase/cover. look at dalong's linked image. do you see the seamlines with no panel lines? if you do, it's tolerable, isn't it? you can think of it as detail or panel lines, like chainer said. but if you want to be anime-accurate on your Freedom, you can sand the part or put some putty and paint it with white.

IMO, that's the only visible seamline on the Freedom's armor. now, for the weapons and accessories, ibang storya na yun. hehehe. ;D the rail gun has it. the plasma beam cannon on the HiMAT wings has it. but, still, konti na lang.

finally... found time to take a few pics of my MG Freedom! Very nice eh?... My strike rouge is still boxed... my wife agreed to build a kit but she doesnt like the multitude of runners from the strike rouge... i was thinking of buying another kit that would be a bit easier than a full featured MG... I need your help guys... what can i get her?... Am thinking either a 1/100 Saviour or a 1/100 Infinite Justice... -wel

@mervs: i also considered that but am leaning towards a 1/100 scale so it wont be too off from my collection... thanks for the suggestion tho.
@qb: nice bro... that reminds me... i also like to get my hands on a God Gundam...
