Bandai Model Kit 1/1200 Salamis
Deploy the backbone of the Earth Federation's space fleet with this exceptional model of the Salamis-class light cruiser. Based on the very first cult animated series from 1979, Mobile Suit Gundam, this scale model belongs to the classic range of 1/1200 precision scale collector's kits. Specially designed by Bandai for fans of Japanese culture, space military tactics and retro Gunpla collectors, this kit brings to life the most widely deployed ship of the line used by Federal forces to counter the Principality of Zeon during the One Year War.
The sleek, streamlined and purely geometric silhouette of this warship features stacked deck structures, rows of artillery turrets and a distinctive slender bow. A radical departure from classic humanoid designs, this cruiser 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.
