Must have.  Best MG kit ever.  A bit hard to pose but it will guarantee to look good after all that effort.

Variants
Few variants of this kit that you can also consider.
1) Gundam Mark II ver 2.0 (2005) - Roughly the same frame, and have lots of play-ability.
2) Nu Gundam (2000) - Original version.  Not recommended since the ver ka is so much more awesome.
3) Hi Nu Gundam ver Ka (2014) - Amuro's other MS.  Less awesome compared to this one.
