    A thoroughly modern HGUC kit, and an equally enjoyable experience. The 'trick' torso is super cool, and despite its relative chunkiness, the kit is surprisingly poseable. My only complaint is that the rifle is a little lacklustre, but that's a design issue, not a kit issue. Overall, I'd highly, highly recommend it. It's a big boy, you get a lot of plastic for your money. Great shelf presence, and from what I've seen on reddit, it's eminently customisable. Panel lines are simple and there's nothing too difficult to get to. If you have a thing for monoeyes, but you're sick of Zakus, the Messer is a must-buy.

    As an equally bulky kit, I was looking forward to the HGUC Gustav Karl, but found the use of standard polycaps let it down, mostly in the hip joints, that constantly seem to slip.

    The Messer does not repeat this mistake. The new build avoids polycaps, and by comparison, has much stronger joints for it. The Messer can stand straight up, despite increased weight compared to the Gustav Karl. This thing feels solid, not mostly hollow because of the build, which gives it quite impressive articulation, and admirable color separation. Oh, and did I mention that it's absolutely huge for a 1/144 scale kit?

    If you like the suit, or the way it looks, rest assured that the kit holds up and you can buy it without any concern.

    This kit is amazing. had everything I wanted and needed in a chunker good color separation strong legs and joints. I was looking for a kit to do my first weathering job and this was the one because it had no stickers. And the kit needed to be weathered. I hope my first attempt was a good one. This kit was a blast. You need this kit!!!!!

    The kit arrived much sooner, than expected and in great condition. The kit itself is quite a fun build, and recommended for anyone interested.

    This bulky behemoth is such a good 1/144 HG. The torso gimmick plays off really well but definitely seems to weaken with overuse so may want to strengthen it if you find it weakening. It has a good handful of details but leaves enough open space for lovely customization. I wholeheartedly recommend it!

    What a great kit, no PCs on this kit and quite big for a 1/144. This is a good kit for beginners and even proficient builders. The torso may need to be reinforce a bit. Though this kit is great. Highly recommend it.

    The Messer is quite the kit not only it's as big as most master grades but the poseability is very good. This was quite a fun build and looking forward to seeing more Late U.C. kits in the future!

    The rear skirt is fiddly at best. The arm design to hold the rear skirts in place are done in a way that makes it unnecessarily articulated and a bit difficult to mount. I ended up gluing the multi-part mounting arm together and that solved the issue. Apart from that, the suit looks great with good color separation (for those that don't paint) and gates that are fairly easy to deal with.

    This big mono eye MS is so far the cheapest and fastest build out of the other 2 Hathaway Flash kits. The color correcting stickers could've been better, but they're not a big deal. Feels pretty solid that this kit has no polycaps. This HG kit is highly recommended

    This kit is huge for HG! Love how good it looks. Wish there was more articulation in the head. The gun parts that appear greenish on the box are actually grey and need to be painted to match. Minor complaints though.
