Assembling of KMR Hi Nu is not for beginner modellers, some of the parts requires creative attachment and may require some sanding. During my build I did not sand and none of the parts has any visible stress marks.

Conclusion, KMR is far more more cheaper than the Metal Spirit Hi NU, and the BFG is available as exclusive. With the KMR what needed is some work and it comes with the exclusive BFG.
If you have the know how on model building and time, just get the KMR from AliExpress else pay more for the Bandai Metal Spirit Hi Nu Gundam and the add on PBandai exlcusive gun.
