The ZGMF-X42S-REVOLUTION Destiny Gundam, customised for the Newtype Heine Westenfluss, is a must-have for fans of the Cosmic Era timeline. Modelled on the personal colour scheme of the FAITH elite unit member, this state-of-the-art Mobile Suit combines the agility of an aerial interceptor with the power of a heavy siege unit.
Built to a scale of 1/144, this model from the modern High Grade Cosmic Era (HGCE) range features state-of-the-art articulation engineering. The torso incorporates a double joint allowing for ultra-dynamic forward and backward bends to recreate the iconic poses from the anime. The robot’s back features gigantic articulated wings that open majestically. The standout feature of this kit is its comprehensive, versatile arsenal: the colossal anti-ship sword ‘Arondight’ and the long-range pulse cannon fold away smoothly to stow on the back, whilst the interchangeable hands and beam shields feature light-up effects moulded in clear transparent plastic.
