Freedom is another 1/60 “no grade” kit. It’s reasonably quick and simple to build, although I did spend a fair bit of time with the shading on the armour and wings. Like all these large no grade kits, it lacks a lot of details and articulation compared to the RG for instance.That said, these 1/60 kits are fairly good value for money, giving you a fair bit of plastic and a nice size model for the price. They’re also great if you’re wanting to practice airbrush shading techniques.  The wings are quite heavy and thick, unlike the RG, and the wing guns lack the special articulation of the RG to perform the full burst mode. However, they are sturdy and do tend to stay where you put them! The wing guns do have the part / colour differentiation though, which helps them look pretty good. The wings were painted with various Tamiya blues as shading over the Createx pear blue. I used some transparent black around the wing vents to add dimension.

The rail guns started off with a Tamiya sky blue colour, and then shaded with transparent blue.The main white armour was painted with Tamiya matte white, shaded with some Tamiya grey, and then Createx pearl white on top.

The Createx pearl blue was used again for the blue body parts, with Tamiya blue shading and pure Tamiya blue for the darker blue sections.

All the red parts were Createx pearl red with a top coat of Tamiya clear red.
