UC :: MS-09R-2 Rick Dom II (2004 version) – Assembled

Wednesday, December 24th, 2008

Finally, I’ve got to write this post. Apologies for the long silent 6 months to everyone, who came back for more… and did not find it.

So let’s get back to Rick Dom II – you can see what it looks like once assembled (again, no stickers and paint applied) on the pictures below. What I especially like about it – is its overall build – this easily makes Rick Dom II the best looking one among all other Doms in existence. Additional fuel tanks on its back perfectly balance Dom’s silhouette and the absence of spare ammunition clips scattered everywhere (as is the case with MS-09F) also adds to a very “clean” and mean look:
