Description
The Bandai HGUC #130 1/144 RGM-96X Jesta is a High Grade Universal Century model kit based on the special operations mobile suit from Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn. Developed by Anaheim Electronics as an escort unit for the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam, the Jesta boasts a military-inspired design with performance reaching 90% of the RX-93 Nu Gundam. This snap-fit plastic kit is suitable for beginner to intermediate builders, requiring no glue or painting for a complete build. The kit includes Tri-Stars Team marking stickers, allowing builders to recreate the iconic three-unit squad piloted by Watts Stepney, Daryl McGuinness, and Nigel Garrett.
