The Bandai HGTWFM #19 1/144 XVX-016RN Gundam Aerial Rebuild is a High Grade model kit from Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury. This kit recreates the overhauled version of the protagonist's Gundam Aerial, featuring a darker blue color scheme, built-in thruster backpack, and an upgraded beam rifle capable of transforming into the powerful GUND-BIT Cannon. Suitable for beginner to intermediate builders, this snap-fit kit requires no glue or painting for a complete build. The Aerial Rebuild is piloted by Suletta Mercury and plays a central role throughout the second season of the series.
Key Features
Separable Escutcheon Shield: The shield can be separated into 11 individual Bit Staves that attach to various points on the mobile suit to recreate GUND-BIT deployment poses.
GUND-BIT Cannon/Gambit Rifle: All 11 Bit Staves can connect to the beam rifle barrel to form the high-output Gambit Rifle configuration.
Selectable Beam Rifle Length: The barrel length of the new dedicated beam rifle can be changed through parts swapping for standard or extended modes.
Shell Unit Reproduction: The chest Shell Unit is recreated using in-mold printed parts and clear parts, with the option to build it in either a luminous or non-luminous state.
Clear Beam Effect Parts: Beam saber blades are molded in translucent clear plastic for a realistic energy weapon appearance.
Articulated Thruster Backpack: Four backpack thrusters feature independent movement for dynamic posing in space combat scenes.
Wide Range of Articulation: Ball-and-socket neck and shoulder joints, double-jointed knees, 360-degree waist rotation, and pivoting ankles allow for expressive action poses.
