The Bandai HGUC #218 RX-9/A Narrative Gundam A-Packs is a 1/144 scale model kit from Mobile Suit Gundam Narrative (NT). This impressive kit reproduces the Narrative Gundam equipped with its massive A-Packs high-mobility equipment used in Operation Phoenix Hunt, featuring deployable Psycho-Capture units, large propellant tanks, and six 5-tube missile pods. Suitable for beginner to intermediate builders, this snap-fit kit requires no glue or painting to complete. Piloted by Jona Basta, the RX-9/A is a test-type unit developed by Anaheim Electronics that explored technologies eventually leading to the Nu Gundam.
Key Features
Deployable Psycho-Capture System: Two articulated capture units can be posed in both standby and deployed modes to recreate the Phenex capture scene
Removable A-Packs Equipment: The large external equipment is removable, allowing the base Narrative Gundam to be displayed independently
Chest Deployment Gimmick: Side sections of the upper torso swing forward for dynamic action poses
Detailed Missile Pods: Missile pod hatch doors are removable to reveal molded missile details underneath
Large Beam Saber Effect Parts: Includes Z Beam Saber runners for oversized beam saber effects, the second HGUC kit to feature them
Wide Articulation: Hip swing mechanism and exposed joint construction allow a wide range of leg and arm movement
Dedicated Display Stand: Includes a display base and two clear support stands for the cannon units
