Description
The Bandai HGUC #148 1/144 MSN-001X Gundam Delta Kai is a High Grade Universal Century model kit based on the prototype transformable mobile suit from Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn MSV. Designed by Hajime Katoki, the Delta Kai is an enhanced version of the Delta Plus featuring experimental weaponry including Proto Fin Funnels and the n_i_t_r_o System. This snap-fit kit is suitable for beginner to intermediate builders and requires no glue or paint for a complete build, though painting will bring out the best detail. The Gundam Delta Kai originally appeared in the PS3 game Mobile Suit Gundam UC and the manga UC-MSV: Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn - Mobile Suit Variations.
Key Features
- Waverider Transformation: The kit transforms from Mobile Suit mode to Waverider flight mode using included replacement parts and a dedicated Waverider core piece.
- Proto Fin Funnels: Two detachable Proto Fin Funnels mount on the backpack and come with two mini display stands for individual funnel display.
- Heavy Armament: Includes a Long Mega Buster rifle that can be mounted on the back, a High Mega Cannon that mounts to the shield, and two transparent beam sabers stored in the shield.
- Interchangeable Hands: Includes five hand parts - fists (left and right), weapon-holding (right), and trigger-finger (right) - for varied posing options.
- Full Articulation: Features double-jointed neck and knees, rotating waist, pivoting skirt armor, and poseable wing binders on the backpack.
- 233 Total Pieces: Built from 14 runners with 233 pieces in PS, PE, and ABS plastic, including foil stickers for color detail.
- Katoki Design Lineage: Designed by Hajime Katoki, the Delta Kai blends design elements from the Zeta Plus, Nu Gundam Fin Funnels, Hyaku Shiki legs, and GP03 side skirts.
