Description
The Bandai HGGS #R16 MBF-M1 M1 Astray is a 1/144 scale High Grade Gundam SEED model kit of the Orb Union's mass-produced mobile suit from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED. This kit stands out with a Gunpla-exclusive pair of anti-ship swords not included with other M1 Astray releases, along with a full complement of ranged and melee weaponry. Suitable for beginner to intermediate builders, this snap-fit kit requires no glue or painting for a complete build. The M1 Astray was developed by Morgenroete as Orb's primary defense mobile suit and was notably test-piloted by Asagi Caldwell, Juri Wu Nien, and Mayura Labatt.
