The nose is totally wrong, shape, size (too short for a fighter or gerwalk), etc, etc, etc
About the durability, It's a Model Kit, not a toy, I have like 80 or more model kits, they are dissing for display, toys like Yamato (expensive ones) were dissing to be "playable", so you can manipulate the toy and have some interaction with it.
I know model kits were toys but that's not the case these days, no one, play with model kits, because the small parts, they are fragile, etc.
So you can't ask for durability IMHO
Seriously, I'm not against these new Bandai VF-1, its just I don't get the idea of a new 1/72 VF-1, with Hasegawa having a great line of fighter/battroid VF-1 in the same scale. Gerwalk was so forgiven, why not a new and good non transformable model kit of a VF-1 in gerwalk mode????
