The MSN-00100 Hyaku-Shiki makes a masterful addition to the Master Grade range in a special edition focused on the accuracy of space operations. Originally developed from the Delta Gundam project, this Newtype-type attack Mobile Suit is distinguished by its advanced engineering and high-speed three-dimensional combat capabilities.
At 1/100 scale, this specific version offers a major advantage for model-makers: unlike the standard mirror-finish gold-plated versions, this matt gold-tinted plastic is fully paintable. This makes it easy to remove cut-out marks (nub marks) and customise the armour. The kit’s standout feature is the full integration of the Ballute System, a massive deployment module comprising a chest pack, large leg thrusters and a dorsal tank. This assembly simulates the buoyancy and thermal protection system used during critical re-entry battles into Earth’s atmosphere.
Box contents:
