GUNDAM - HG 1/144 GUNDAM G-ARCANE

GUNDAM RECONGUISTA IN G – HG 1/144 MSAM-033 Gundam G-Arcane – Model Kit

Discover the MSAM-033 Gundam G-Arcane, Aida Surugan’s personal Mobile Suit from Gundam Reconguista in G, with this 1/144 scale High Grade model kit from Bandai Spirits. Instantly recognisable by its red, orange and white colour scheme and its slender silhouette, the G-Arcane also stands out for its imposing anti-ship rifle and its ability to adopt a flight configuration. (BANDAI SPIRITS Co., Ltd.)

The kit allows you to recreate the flight configuration by swapping certain parts. It is therefore not a complete transformation of the model: the parts supplied allow you to modify its configuration to recreate the Mobile Suit’s aerial appearance. This system offers several display options whilst retaining the characteristic stability of a High Grade model. 

The armament is one of the G-Arcane’s strong points. Bandai provides two versions of its imposing Anti-Ship Beam Rifle, one in standard configuration and the other in Sword mode. Two Beam Sabres, a shield and two Beam Wires complete its arsenal. The Beam Wires can be attached directly to the arms, whilst certain parts of the weapon use UV parts to reproduce the energy effects. 

The model also features a mechanism that allows the shield’s Sensor Burners to be deployed. The parts are colour-moulded and the set includes eleven sprues, a sheet of metallic stickers and the assembly instructions. Like the other Bandai Gunpla models in this range, assembly is mainly by snap-fit and does not require glue.

The MSAM-033 Gundam G-Arcane is a G-System-type Mobile Suit built by the Amerian Army using technologies derived from the plans for the Rose of Hermes. Assigned to the Pirate Corps, it became primarilyAida Surugan’s personal machine. Its long-range equipment, notably its powerful anti-ship rifle, enables it to fulfil a support role whilst retaining close-quarters combat capabilities thanks to its Beam Sabres and Beam Wires. 

In *Gundam Reconguista in G*, Aida Surugan is part of the Megafauna’s crew and fights alongside Bellri Zenam and the members of the Pirate Corps. The G-Arcane accompanies Aida for much of her journey and later undergoes a significant upgrade with the Full Dress kit, which radically alters its silhouette and boosts its firepower. The HG model presented here reproduces the G-Arcane’s original configuration, prior to this upgrade.
