The Bandai HGUC #229 RX-104FF Penelope is a 1/144 scale model kit from Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway's Flash. Designed under the supervision of Hajime Katoki, this kit faithfully reproduces the Penelope's complex layered armor and massive silhouette, standing over 9 inches tall and surpassing the height of most Master Grade kits despite being 1/144 scale. This is a snap-fit assembly kit suitable for beginner to intermediate builders, with no glue or painting required for a complete build. The Penelope is piloted by Lane Aim of the Earth Federation Forces' Circe Unit, and serves as the rival mobile suit to Hathaway Noa's Xi Gundam in the film.
Key Features
Detachable FF (Fixed Flight) Unit: The Penelope can separate into the core RX-104 Odysseus Gundam and the FF armor unit, and each can be displayed individually using the included display stand.
Supervised by Hajime Katoki: Penelope's intricate mechanics and detailed armor design are faithfully captured using the latest HG format with thorough color separation.
Clear Cockpit Canopy: Clear parts are used for the cockpit canopy, adding realism to the finished model.
Adjustable Shoulder Armor: Shoulder armor can be repositioned to recreate opened and closed configurations for different display modes.
Mountable Beam Sabers: Beam sabers can be mounted onto various weapons and armor sections throughout the kit for versatile posing.
Massive Presence: Standing over 9 inches (approximately 24 cm) tall, the completed Penelope surpasses most MG kits in size with its shoulder armor, tail stabilizers, and leg thrusters providing overwhelming volume.
Included Display Stand: A dedicated display stand is included, allowing flight poses and separate display of the Odysseus Gundam and Flight Unit.
