Unlike the static aircraft models that I normally build, this should end up as a fully-poseable action figure of a Star Wars Stormtrooper. I don't have much experience with these types of kits but the quality and engineering of the Bandai Star Wars series of kits is universally lauded.
The kit is comprised of four sprues. Given the monochromatic color scheme of the typical Stormtrooper, it's no surprise that these sprues are black and white. The white sprue is a VERY shiny plastic that mimics the glossy white exterior of the Stormtrooper armor to good effect. However, I am of the opinion that painted plastic always looks better than unpainted plastic so I am planning on painting the white parts white and the black parts black.
This black sprue contains the black components that are visible including the hands and weaponry.
The last two sprues are also black. One holds all of the interior joint pieces that provide the poseability. The other has a square black base.
Both water-slide decals and adhesive-backed stickers are provided.
I've decided to start with the head. This is designed to be snap-together kit so I will have to do a little bit of pre-planning if I want to paint the components. Since the head is comprised of both black and white parts, I thought it'd be a good testbed for the paint process. The head components are laid out prior to painting. The back of the head (in the middle of the pic) is comprised of two halves, so I thought I'd glue those together first and fill the seam before I paint.
Interestingly, the eye inserts are not black but a dark transparent green.
While I let the putty on the head dry, I jumped over to have a looksee at the guns. Three guns are provided and they are very well represented. I think all Star Wars side arms are black but I might take some liberty and paint these up a little bit.
After cleaning up the mold seams, I drilled out the ends of what look like optical scopes. I'll add a drop of white glue to mimic glass lenses.
