雖然這模型是我接觸過 Wave 模型中最容易砌的一部，但這並不代表它沒有問題。其實我從素組時已留意到，模型的股軸關節相當脆弱，偏偏那軟膠位又相當緊；折斷只是遲早的事。雖然用兩條裝混合畢地重造股關節並不困難，但這部位的問題將會延綿纏擾以後推出的 S.A.F.S. 系模型。另一個問題可從下面第二幅圖中清楚可見。最後，Ma.K. 裝甲服的關節從來都是較難處理。今次 Wave 用了軟膠作關節，部份亦不能夠分件以便上色，於是乎我把部份軟關節自行切開。好在整個模型細小，關節不需承受大力，切開了的關節是稍鬆了但仍可以承受得到。不過因為用了軟膠關節和關節可動的關係，所以我用了Irisawa 的 V-Color 塗在軟膠上作底色。雖然 V-Color 的塗膜較有彈力，但附著力與 Mr. Color 差不多，要撕去這層塗膜絕非難事！

Although this is the easiest model kit I have ever built among Wave's kits, there are problems with it. The most significant one can be found at the hip joint. This joint connects both legs with the body but the two ball joints are structurally weak. To make the problem even worse, the PVC socket joints on the legs are very tight when the hip joints are put into them. Consequently, I broke one of the ball joint when I dropped the lower body on the ground. It is not a big deal to rebuild a new hip joint using epoxy putty but we can expect future kits in the S.A.F.S. family will prone to the same problem. Another minor problem can be seen in the second photograph below. What were the good people at Wave thinking?! Finally, soft PVC joints are used extensively on this kit. This forces me to use Irisawa's V-Color, which is flexible. As far as adhesiveness is concerned, V-Color is not better than Mr. Color, peeling is still possible.
