GUNDAM - 1/1200 CHAR'S MUSAI - Model Kit

This buildable plastic model represents the Musai-class light space cruiser customised for Commander Char Aznable, based on its appearance in the seminal Japanese anime series Mobile Suit Gundam.

This 1/1200 scale model reproduces the architectural and structural features of the space warship, based on Bandai's original technical drawings. The plastic mouldings faithfully reproduce the cruiser's angular lines, double mega-particle gun turrets, detachable Komusai escape pod at the front and massive propulsion units at the rear. Designed as plastic clusters, the kit requires snap-fit or glue assembly and can be painted to match its iconic red and green livery.

Designed primarily for display on a shelf, on the desk or in a window, this collector's item for model builders comes in its original illustrated cardboard box, protecting all the component clusters and the assembly instructions.

Introduced in the original 1979 animated series created by Yoshiyuki Tomino and Sunrise Studios, the Musai is the most iconic front-line light space cruiser of the Space Forces of the Principality of Zeon during the One Year War against the Earth Federation. Designed specifically to transport and rapidly deploy three MS-06 Zaku II Mobile Suits directly into the heart of combat zones, it serves as an autonomous mobile base of operations. This precise variation is the command unit assigned to ace pilot Char Aznable, nicknamed "the Red Comet", recognisable by his tactical adjustments and intensive use to track the Federation's prototype starship, the White Base, and the RX-78-2 Gundam robot across the solar system.
