This unit is one of my favorite units from the Gundam series (Specifically, the SNES RTS games)
Building this was easy and it looks very good. With the stickers, it looks very good although I feel like some extra work will make this look absolutely awesome.
Qubeley is always a very unique looking model, and I love it.

Très bonne maquette, détaillée et fidèle au manga. J'en suis très content. Son caracter-design est unique par rapport aux autres Gunpla, notamment sa taille (plus grand).
Talk about old school! The Gouf was released as number 9 in the HGUC lineup, the Qubeley was a whopping number 4 in the lineup (huh, AMX-004 Bandai, so smart). However, despite such an early debut, this model kit based off of Hajime Katoki's renewal of the classic Qubeley design and doesn't disappoint. The white used for a majority of the Qubeley's body is a beautiful pearl-white color that works great with the saturated pink and the dark burgundy/purple color mesh that is the Qubeley's torso. However, this construction does have its problems. While it has aged beautifully, the Qubeley's greatest downfall construction-wise is its heavy sticker usage. Every little pink strip on the skirt, tail-binder, shoulders, kneepads, and ankles are all stickers, and the adhesive doesn't age well, being 16 years old and such. I actually lost a sticker on the inside of one of the ankles and had to paint it in. With regards to the articulation, the Qubeley is also pretty great. Granted, the articulation isn't as much sought-after as, say, the Gouf, since the MS didn't move much to begin with, there is still plenty to work with. The feet can bend halfway between the toe and the heel for the Qubeley's flight mode, a standard practice ever since the Zeta Gundam and its Wave Rider abomination came to be. The knees articulate on a single joint for 90 degrees and the kneepads swing for the flight mode or just to cover the knee joint. The legs kick forward and back, and the side skirts swing outwards, though they don't align all-too-properly. The torso is really thin, which might be the asinine justification they use for describing the MS as "feminine" due to the hourglass shape of the torso, but to be honest, if the torso was any bigger articulation would be seriously gimped due to the over-sized chest and hips. The chest, despite being huge and heavy, articulates neatly, with the cockpit panel (pink) swinging upwards for the flight mode, and swing out polycaps for the shoulders. The neck joint is also there for a beautiful 90 degree upwards head turn, though that neck has its problems yet. The wing binders on the arms move and swivel all over the place, which is appreciated, though I would've liked it better if it was easier to align them for symmetry. The arm moves at 2 joints for a 90 degree bend, but also spins 360 at the elbow. The wrists are on ball joints, though the wrist cover does restrict some movement. Finally, the head, as over-sized as it is, has a really advanced chicken-joint at both the base and the top of the head, so the head can reach forward, which is really helpful! However, the neck piece protrudes into the head, which limits side to side movement. Overall, the articulation is sound, though balance is problematic as the upper body is chock-full of plastic and detail while the lower body is hollow, making for a very top heavy robot that really needs the solid heels and boot-like construction of the legs to stand properly. For accessories, the Qubeley comes with two splayed out hands for the flight mode, and they look very elegant. I use those for displays primarily nowadays. The fists come with clear yellow beam sabers, and the Beam Gun/Beam Saber hilt in both wrists can be removed. Note that the yellow sabers need paint on the hilt. Finally, the Qubeley's 8 Funnels on the tail binder can be removed individually. They serve no purpose and I'd just leave them in the tail anyway. For a 16-year-old kit, the Qubeley is my personal favorite of the Z and ZZ Gundam series. The kit aged very well, to the point where even recent model kits like the Qubeley Papillion are still using this build. The articulation is great for the time, the looks are fantastic, and overall, its a very majestic, and, dare I say it, lady-like MS that commands a lot of respect and attention. Had it used less stickers, I would've appreciated it a whole lot more.
