The GX-9900-DV Gundam X Divider is a heavily modified version of the original Gundam X, repaired by the crew of the Frieden following its partial destruction by Jamil Neate. Designed to compensate for the lack of a satellite communication system, this Mobile Suit overcomes the constraints of lunar operations to become a highly effective close-quarters combat and support machine.
At 1/100 scale, this retro model from the 1990s beautifully captures the aggressive aesthetic and massive lines of this iconic unit. The centrepiece of this kit is its fully functional Divider (heavy shield): it features an ingenious deployment mechanism allowing it to fan out to reveal its 19 propulsion nozzles (booster mode) or to close up to serve as a rigid defensive shield. The arsenal is rounded off by an exclusive Beam Machine Gun and two large lightsabres (Beam Swords). The high-quality, pre-coloured plastic ensures an excellent visual finish as soon as assembly is complete.
