Fun fact: From its position and actual design concepts, the Turn A's cockpit is actually supposed to be the womb rather than the male genitals, especially considering the fact that the cockpit could be accessed from below. So the Turn A is, surprisingly enough, not the Turn X's brother, but the Turn X's sister.

[@jhaybz29]

An advice given to me by a local model kit group (from long ago) was to simply call it: Rough and Fine and identify it straight by the Grit as to avoid confusion and to help others as well. Say for example if someone ask you how you achieved this texture one should not reply "I used a fine grit sandpaper" on the comments but instead say something like "I used a 1500grit sandpaper". Here's another tip that might be useful to anyone: If the sandpaper you bought has a letter "P" in it to identify the grit it means that this sandpaper is a hardware graded one; This is much rougher than the ones with no P in it. 3M sandpapers usually are the ones that grade sandpapers with no P but they are by no means the best they are still used for hardware not hobby but this might help you identify if you want something with more finer finish but you don't have access to hobby grade sandpapers. But if it really needs to be identified as high or low, you can simply say High Grit for sandpapers 1000grit and up and Low Grit for 800grits and lower.

Turn A Gundam is really awesome ! I love how the animation quality is really great; there's little "re-used" battle animations.

People hate on the Turn A, but it is very unique and isn't just a retread of the F91 Gundam like practically every other Gundam. It also looks really good. I wouldn't mind a different head, but it still looks really cool.

[@Studio_OZKai]

I love the Turn-A design so much, especially after watching the series. Definitely a top design for me. Something that might help out for that head icon (or details like it) you can always pout a q-tip into some thinner and wipe off the excess that way so you don't have to worry about scuffing the plastic at all.

Turn A Gundam is my favorite Gundam series and I think it has some of the best designs for Mobile Suits and characters and has one of the best stories. So thank you for reviewing this kit.

[@zakuukaz4322]

I love the aesthetic of the bladed leg back sections. Form follows function and turn A seems to follow that principle more so than perhaps any other MS. Syd mead being an industrial designer brought that practicality to the design.

[@Luxorcist]

2000grit sandpaper is High Grit. As opposed to, say 80grit, being Low Grit. Less grit = more abrasive. If there was a 1grit it would be a single rough rock glued to a paper lol

As far as I can recall, the limited posability is fairly darn accurate to the show. I need to rewatch that sometime, it's arguably the best. (It's my personal favourite at least)

[@elementxxrider]

High grit/Low grit: it refers to how thin the grains on a sanding paper are. The highest the number is, the amount of grains is, and the more grains there is on the same area of sanding paper, the smaller that are, and by consequence, the finer the sandpaper is. If you want to know how fine a sandpaper is without having the numbers, feel the sand paper. The softer it feels, the finer the grain is. The better grains I'd recommend is 3000.

[@CyberScorpio94]

When it comes to sandpaper the higher number the finer the grit and finish the lower the number is the exact opposite
