Madworks S072 Etching Parts for Gundam Artifacts 05 Detail-up Parts and Decals

These Artifacts kits are tiny so I was worried about working with PE parts, but the sizing is spot on. The included waterslides lay down really nicely over the etched details and make the whole thing pop like a much bigger build.

The waterslide decals alone make this worth it, and the metal detail bits add a nice crisp edge to the kit. Prepping the parts takes a bit of patience with a fresh blade, but they bend cleanly once you get the hang of it.

The etching parts fit the Artifacts 05 kit way better than I expected, and the metal thrusters alone are worth it. The included waterslide decals are a nice bonus too, they settle down fine with a bit of mark setter.
