1983, it's the original MSV kit and it has one of my favorite boxarts ever. I bought because I thought it was an HG kit like a tard, but I'm glad I did because I rather like the way these old kits look when finished up. I'm planning to put him on a base and make a little mini diorama out of him like he's a wargame piece. I only realized it had waterslides when I put a picture of the manual through Google translate. The color guide also seems to be using Mr. Color paints like modern ones do. Although I think I'd want a more shiny paint for the visor instead of a flat orange.
