Description
The Bandai HG 1/144 XD-01+XDFU-01 Dragonar-1 Plus Lifter-1 is a High Grade model kit from the classic 1987 anime series Metal Armor Dragonar. This completely new-tooled kit faithfully reproduces the Dragonar-1 in its Lifter-1 equipment configuration, featuring exceptional color separation through parts molding, detailed internal structure on the chest and leg air intakes, and a generous arsenal of weapons. Suitable for beginner to intermediate builders, this snap-fit kit requires no glue or paint to assemble. The Dragonar-1 is the lead Metal Armor unit and one of the most iconic mecha designs of the 1980s by Kunio Okawara.
Key Features
- Lifter-1 Flight Equipment: Includes the back-mounted Lifter-1 unit with movable main wings, ailerons, and turbofan engines, allowing reproduction of the parked state configuration. The main wing features a 5-unit dual missile pod.
- Alternate Head Parts: Includes optional head eaves parts inspired by the Dragonar-1 as it appears in the anime opening sequence, swappable via parts replacement.
- Extensive Weapon Loadout: Comes with the 75mm handrail gun LPS9 type (with removable magazine), hybrid shield, two-lotus 105mm handrail cannon, laser sword for close combat, and assault knife.
- Ordnance Storage: Includes throw-in bombs that mount on the arm and removable MA grenades stored in the shoulder armor.
- Accurate Color Separation: The tricolor aircraft scheme is reproduced through molded color parts, minimizing the need for stickers or paint.
