Bandai RG 1/144 Aile Strike Gundam
This model embodies the technological pinnacle of the famous piloted mobile suit within the Cosmic Era timeline. Every part of the internal structure faithfully reproduces the original mechanical design, whilst featuring a level of detail unprecedented for this compact scale. The subtle shades of the coloured plastics create a striking visual contrast that brings the robot to life as soon as assembly is complete, without the need for any touch-up painting.
This version’s exclusive articulation system incorporates an advanced internal skeleton that allows it to replicate the flexibility of the human body with remarkable fluidity. The armour plates and stabilisers of the dorsal flight module slide in unison with the limbs’ movements to preserve the robot’s silhouette even in its most dynamic aerial combat poses. This centrepiece stands as the indispensable heart of any display dedicated to the world of giant combat robots.
