Take control of the Earth Federation’s technological flagship, designed for space supremacy, thanks to the cutting-edge plastic engineering of the Master Grade (MG) range developed by Bandai Spirits.
The RX-78-4 Gundam Unit 4 (Gundam G04) features a distinctive military livery combining pure white, cobalt blue and accents of golden yellow and dark grey. Built to a scale of 1/100, this kit offers a premium building experience characterised by an exceptional level of internal mechanical detail and superb separation of coloured parts.
A complete internal skeleton and a massive array of experimental weaponry:
The heart of this model lies in its fully articulated internal frame (Inner Frame), which meticulously reproduces the robot’s mechanics and actuators. Its most striking feature is its devastating asymmetrical arsenal: the kit includes the gigantic heavy beam cannon (Mega Beam Launcher). This monumental weapon is connected directly to the mecha’s backpack via a flexible red power cable, offering striking industrial realism.
A comprehensive arsenal and removable armour configurations:
In addition to its heavy cannon, the Gundam Unit 4 is equipped for close-quarters combat with its extendable armoured shield, standard beam rifle, two beam sabres and Hyper Beam Rifle-type pistols. The dorsal fuel tanks (Propellant Tanks) and shoulder armour plates can be detached to switch the robot from its heavy configuration (Bst Mode) to its streamlined base form.
