I thought the pose is really neat and cute, the guy really knows how to make dynamic poses. Unfortunately this is one of the kits which has only one display angle – other angles aren’t ugly but they aren’t interesting either.
I don’t recall seeing this Nerv uniform in the show; usually Misato wears a black one piece with white colllar and this red jacket on top.

Parts: beret, face, front & back hair, l&r jacket, l&r hands, body, base.
Casting is excellent, and there are no parting lines! There is one running between the left & right jacket pieces, but the hair actually obscure it so is’s invisible.

In addition the picture on the box depicted a faint smile which I have a hard time recreating with the sculpted mouth… eventaully I decided it’s ok the way it is.
The Nerv base is really neat, but the printing dissolves in Mr. Thinner which caused some grief 
The legs are part of the body, so sanding the inside of the legs are quite difficult. Incidentally the texture of the Liquitex paints fits the clothing very well – the mars black and payne’s grey has a slight flat sheen for her body suit and boots, and the red and burnt sienna have semi-gloss appearance for the jacket and skirt. |
