Do you think the kit was designed in CAD based on the 3d models from the show? Is it that close?

"Without the power of System Injection, a straight build of the Strike Eagle can look rather plane as it lacks the orange and black highlights seen on the Volks toy."

This is actually something Bandai's used before. It featured in the Gundam Seed no-grade 1/144 kit line and the SD Gundam Force kits, and has occasionally appeared in other kits.
