Ghost in the Shell chopper

So I finished this model a few weeks ago. Struggled with the airbrushing and wasn’t fond of the result. After a while I came around on it. Still idk why my black gloss coat got so bumpy but meh, gotta go practice some more on spoons.

Recently I posted this on r/Gunpla over on reddit only for the post to get removed by the mods. They always let mech plamo in before. I asked for clarification and the mod swears the this isn’t a mech. Anyone have any thoughts on that. I’m pretty sure it meets the def of mech. Noun; Large piloted combat robot.
