The Bandai MG 1/100 GF13-017NJ Shining Gundam is a Master Grade model kit of the main mobile fighter from Mobile Fighter G Gundam. Piloted by martial arts champion Domon Kasshu, the Shining Gundam is built for close-quarters combat and is capable of transforming into its devastating Super Mode. This kit is recommended for intermediate to advanced builders and features Bandai's Action Frame inner skeleton for exceptional poseability. Originally released in May 2002, it remains a fan-favorite representation of Neo Japan's iconic fighting machine from the 13th Gundam Fight.
