First off, I would like to thank everyone for their positive comments and remarks
It would look too plain without the decals IMO, much more if it is in unicorn mode.
I made 3 modifications on it actually:
1. I changed the color scheme (a little bit)
- I used a lighter shade of gray for its visible joint parts previously dark gray which seems to stand out to much and does not compliment the white armor.
- I added a coat of pure white to the armor (a whiter white color in other words )
2. I made use of water transfer decals rather than the included generic stickers which came with the box. (the only advantage I noticed was cleaner results in rough, multi-angled and uneven areas)
3. I made modifications to its legs (knee part and lower legs to be precise). In its actual design the knee can be bent only at a limited angle limiting its pose. Thus i decided to remodel it a bit by removing some excess plastic on both external and internal parts on the knee area to provide greater movement. See pics below for more info.
Only new thing i saw related to this is the upcoming december MG release which would be the Sinanju (which closely resembles a sazabi) which came from this series.
Here's some dev't pics of the wing zero

I decided to modify the external parts first which gave a bit more movement but the result wasn't enough
After some cuts here and there, I finally got a satisfying angle of movement
With it, the following poses became possible:
Much better than any standing pose if u ask me.
