The Bandai RG #41 1/144 ORB-01 Akatsuki Gundam (Oowashi Unit) is a Real Grade model kit from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny. This kit features three types of gold plating - chromed yellow gold, matte copper gold, and chromed copper gold - that recreate the iconic Yata no Kagami anti-beam coating seen in the anime. As a Real Grade kit, it is recommended for intermediate builders who enjoy detailed construction with small parts and advanced engineering. The Akatsuki Gundam was originally piloted by Cagalli Yula Athha and later by Mu La Flaga during the Second Alliance-PLANT War.
Key Features
-
Three-Tone Gold Plating: Multi-faceted body shaping with three types of gold plating adjusts light reflection angles to reproduce the shimmering Yata no Kagami coating.

Deployable Oowashi Sky Pack: The Oowashi unit features a deployable nose, hatch, and beam cannons with flexibly articulated wings that can recreate the combined or separated flight configuration.

Advanced Articulation: Pull-out shoulder mechanism, wide-opening hip joints, torso swing gimmick, and armor-linked sliding gimmicks in the arms and legs enable dynamic posing.
-
RG Strike Gundam Frame Heritage: Partially uses joint runners from the Advanced MS Joint 3, with an inner frame construction similar to the RG Force Impulse Gundam and RG Nu Gundam.
-
Movable Verniers: Verniers on the tops of the shoulders and sides of the legs feature movable gimmicks for enhanced detail and posing options.
-
Action Base 7 Included: A flip-out panel on the rear waist armor reveals a mounting point for the included Action Base 7 display stand.

Realistic Decals: Included decal sheet accurately reproduces markings across the entire mobile suit body.
