Description
The Bandai HGUC #054 1/144 NRX-044 Asshimar is a High Grade Universal Century model kit based on the transformable mobile armor from Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam. Designed with support from Hajime Katoki, this kit achieves a seamless full transformation between Mobile Suit and Mobile Armor (saucer) modes without compromising proportions. Suitable for beginner to intermediate builders, the kit uses snap-fit assembly with multi-colored molding (Iropla) for an accurate color scheme out of the box. The Asshimar was the Earth Federation's first transformable mobile armor capable of self-sustained atmospheric flight, most notably piloted by Buran Blutarch.
Key Features
- Full Transformation: Converts between Mobile Suit mode and disc-shaped Mobile Armor mode through rotating panels and components
- Iropla Multi-Color Molding: Pre-colored plastic runners accurately reproduce the Asshimar's distinctive orange and tan color scheme without painting
- Hajime Katoki Design Support: Proportions and engineering refined with input from renowned mechanical designer Hajime Katoki
- Dedicated Display Stand: Included base features two-axis swivel joints for dynamic aerial poses in both MS and MA modes
- Detailed Hand Parts: Includes finely sculpted rifle-gripping right hand and closed fist pair
- Waist-Mounted Beam Rifle: The large beam rifle can be held in hand or attached to the waist in both MS and MA configurations
