Bandai Model Kit 1/550 Elmeth (Lala Mobile Armour)
Unleash the revolutionary technological power of the Newtypes of the Principality of Zeon with this exceptional model of the MAN-08 Elmeth. Based on the very first cult anime series from 1979, Mobile Suit Gundam, this scale model belongs to the classic range of 1/550 precision scale collector's kits. Specially designed by Bandai for fans of Japanese culture, military space stories and retro Gunpla collectors, this kit brings to life the famous experimental Mobile Armor piloted by the tragically receptive Lalah Sune during the One Year War.
The unique, conical, curved silhouette of this spacecraft evokes the shape of a streamlined helmet or dome, and is distinguished by its distinctive light green livery, two steerable laser cannons at the front and storage openings at the rear. A radical departure from conventional humanoid designs, this heavy artillery model brings superb architectural variety to your collection. Thanks to Bandai's historic engineering, the parts fit together logically to provide a stable structure, ideal for structuring your catalogue and enriching your dioramas of elite space battles.
