Qubeley Papillon VS Wing Gundam Fenice
Now, the latest addition in my gunpla collection - Aila Jyrkiäinen's Qubeley Papillon. To be honest I am not a fan of Puru from the previous
Gundam series and not a fan of the old Qubeley either - although I am a fan of Marida Cruz who rides Kshatriya. But I was indeed a fan
of Aila in the Gundam Build Fighter Series. In my Opinion, if you don't like HGBF and not a fan of Qubeley I am not suggesting you get this
kit. Just like what bandai did with MK-II, this is an old mold
with changes in some runners like colour scheme and parts. Don't expect great articulation since it was the same with the old HGUC Qubeley kit.
This is the first time I'll be using a Metallic Red Gundam Maker so this had a crappy paint job. I didn't want to use the stickers so I tried it anyway.
The NMX-004 Qubeley Papillon is a custom mobile suit appearing in the anime Gundam Build Fighters, and is a variant of the AMX-004 Qubeley. The Gunpla is possibly built by Nemesis and primarily controlled by Aila Jyrkiäinen.

Now, one of the changes made in the Kit was it's head. If your wondering what, it's the v-fin and a different alien like face.
But the Mewtwo-Head-Tail thingy stays.
Qubeley Papillons's Lance
Funnels - and yes, you put each funnels in each slot.
Now, a proof it was an authentic Qubeley hehe, and a proof it's Qubeley's Mold - 2 LMES can also be seen in the back.
What is 2 LMES? Qubeley has the words "2LMES" engraved on its back near the left wing binder, which can be seen in its Gunpla incarnations. This possibly denotes it being the successor of the Mobile Armor Elmeth. (LMES in Japanese phonics will result in LMETH)
Here's an added Trivia - Qubeley is derived from the greek goddess "Cybele" which embodies the fertile earth and Papillon means Butterfly.
Now, as I said if you are not a fan of Qubeley and don't like the GBF Series - I won't recommend this kit. You won't appreciate it because of it's old articulation so you had to have a great crave for qubeley jsut like me.
