The Bandai HGTWFM #15 Tickbalang is a 1/144 scale High Grade add-on model kit from Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury. Unlike standard mobile suit kits, the Tickbalang is a flatbed-type flight system designed by Peil Technologies to transport mobile suits over long distances. This kit is suitable for beginner to intermediate builders, featuring snap-fit assembly with no painting required. Released in March 2023, it pairs perfectly with HGTWFM Zowort and Zowort Heavy kits to recreate iconic scenes from the anime.
