im going with the p-bandai option because i like to recreate scenes from the anime, but there is a lot of potential to customize this kit because it has a natural weathered aesthetic and the greebles all look like they have some in-universe purpose (eg, there's these little bumps everywhere that represent hooks for attachments, and if you look closely in the series you can see that those are actually what the chains are hanging off of in the two scrap-zakus).

pic related (not mine, unfortunately) is a guy who actually turned his zaku into the RFV version of gouf custom. see: https://www.gundamkitscollection.com/2025/01/custom-build-hg-1144-gouf-custom-rfv.html

I have an issue of Hobby Japan from february where they had several submissions where people had kitbashed the RFV zaku into pretty much every minor "background MS" so it's def gruntable. There even also a guy who had turned his Gundam EX into the RFV version of GM.

I'm at a hotel right now but i'll try to post some scans when i get home on wednesday if the thread hasn't hit the pic limit yet.
