Straight Build: LM-HG 3rd Angel Sachiel

After getting most all of the Eva units, I was luckily able to come across another Eva kit from the LM-HG line. This time its the second angel in the kit's series, The 3rd Angel Sachiel. I believe it is the second to the last of the LM-HG Eva series with the final version of the Eva-05 being the last.


I'm not sure if this was a hard to find kit in the years of its initial release, but now its one of the rarer kits in the Eva series kits.

Kit Review: LM-HG Eva Kits (Part 2.5): Eva-04 Production Type nad Eva-05 Mass Production Type

In Part 2, I showed the differences between the three main Evas. Now I will show the difference that the Eva-04 Production Type and the Eva-05 Mass Production Type have with the other Evas. Both these Evas did not appear in the first anime.

Let's start with the Eva-04 Production Unit. This model Eva did not appear in the Anime was mentioned to have exploded in the base it was being kept in so no one saw what it looked like. Now according to Gainax, the Eva-04 is pretty much identical to the Eva-03 Production Type but uses a silver color scheme with red and white accents. So in the kit, its pretty much just a recolored Eva-03 in all ways. It has the same standard chest armor and shoulder pylons as the Eva-02.

Kit Review: LM-HG Eva Kits (Part 2): Eva-00 Prototype, Eva-01 Test Type and Eva-02 Production Type.

Continuing from Part 1, where I reviewed the parts that the Eva kits have in common, I will now highlight the parts that make each Eva distinct along with the weapons specific to them. I will discuss the three main Evas here and then the other two later.

First up is the Eva-00 Prototype (Yellow Version). It uses a yellow color scheme with some black and white accents.

Kit Review: LM-HG Eva Kits (Part 1): Similarities between Eva kits.

Today I'm reviewing some very old kits I acquired in the past few weeks. After first getting the LM-HG Bardiel, I decided to search for the other kits in the series to try and complete them.

What I was able to get were the Eva-00 Prototype (Yellow Version), Eva-01 Test Type, Eva-02 Production Type, Eva-04 Production Type and Eva-05 Mass Production Type.


The blue version of the Eva-00 Prototype is a bit difficult to find these days so I don't have that. I didn't purchase the Eva-03 Production Type since I already have Bardiel and I prefer Bardiel over the Eva-03. The Eva-01 Test Type I purchased is the regular one that doesn't include the launch pad. And The Eva-05 Mass Production Type I have is the first version. Later I'll explain what difference it has with the final version. Lastly, there is one more kit I was, by great luck, able to get and is waiting to arrive this week. That would be the 3rd Angel Sachiel. It's one of two very rare kits in the LM-HG Eva Series, the other one being the final version of the Eva-05 Mass Production Type.
