Description
The Bandai HGUC #93 1/144 FA-93HWS Nu Gundam (Heavy Weapon System) is a High Grade Universal Century model kit based on the enhanced Nu Gundam from Char's Counterattack Mobile Suit Variations (CCA-MSV). This kit features the full Heavy Weapon System upgrade, adding substantial additional armor, increased firepower, and the imposing Hyper Mega Rifle to Amuro Ray's iconic mobile suit. Suitable for beginner to intermediate builders, the snap-fit construction requires no glue or painting for a complete color-accurate build. The HWS parts are removable, allowing builders to display the kit in either its heavily armed configuration or as the standard RX-93 Nu Gundam using the included surplus parts.
Key Features
- Removable Heavy Weapon System Armor: Additional chest, front, rear, and leg armor can be attached or removed to switch between HWS and standard Nu Gundam configurations.
- Extensive Weapon Loadout: Includes Hyper Mega Rifle with deployable bipod, New Hyper Bazooka, Beam Rifle, High Mega Shield, standard shield, two beam sabers (large and standard), and shoulder missile launchers.
- Individually Articulated Fin Funnels: Six fin funnels are separately jointed, detachable from the backpack, and can be set in firing mode.
- Polycap-Jointed Articulation: Ball-and-socket joints at the head, wrists, waist, and thighs, with 90-degree bend at elbows and knees for dynamic posing.
- Color-Molded Plastic: Molded in accurate colors right out of the box, with foil stickers and marking stickers included for detail.
- Multiple Display Options: Compatible with Action Base stands via 3mm hardpoint; High Mega Shield mounts on either forearm or the adapter.
