Description
The Bandai HGGS #38 1/144 ORB-01 Shiranui Akatsuki Gundam is a High Grade Gundam SEED model kit depicting the iconic gold-armored mobile suit from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny. This version features the "Shiranui" Space Pack equipped with seven remote-controlled beam turrets for the DRAGOON system, as piloted by Mu La Flaga (Neo Roanoke) in the series' final battles. Suitable for beginner to intermediate builders, this snap-fit kit requires no glue or painting to complete. Originally released in 2006, the Shiranui Akatsuki remains a standout kit thanks to its striking gold-plated (mekki) finish and impressive accessory count.
Key Features
- Gold-Plated Finish: Major body parts feature mekki gold plating to reproduce the Akatsuki's mirror-surface "Yata-no-Kagami" armor, with undergated runners to minimize nub marks on plated surfaces.
- Shiranui Space Pack: Includes the complete backpack with movable thrusters and seven individually removable beam turrets for DRAGOON system display.
- Dragoon Launch Effects: Four clear effect parts allow recreation of beam turret launch and firing poses.
- Ball-Joint Articulation: Double ball joints on shoulders and ball-and-socket joints on hands and thighs provide a wide range of posing options.
- Striker Pack Compatible: The Akatsuki is compatible with various HGGS, HGCE, and HGBF Striker Packs for expanded customization.
- Display Stand Included: A dedicated display stand is included for aerial and action poses without requiring a separate Action Base.
- Snap-Fit Assembly: No glue or paint required - parts snap together for a clean build straight out of the box.
