EX-19 1/1700 ARC ANGEL

The EX-19 1/1700 ARC ANGEL by BANDAI HOBBY is a highly detailed 1/1700 scale plastic model kit of the Archangel, a prominent mobile assault spacecraft from the "Mobile Suit Gundam SEED" anime series. This kit is part of Bandai's EX Model series, known for its superior detail and accuracy compared to standard snap-together kits, offering a more involved building experience for enthusiasts. It allows for the creation of a showpiece model representing one of the most iconic ships in the Gundam universe.

Key features of this model kit include:

• A 1/1700 scale reproduction of the Archangel.
• Intricate molding and decals that accurately represent the spacecraft as seen in the anime.
• The ability to reproduce catapult deployment with interchangeable parts.
• Opening and closing gun turrets.
• Articulated turrets and other armaments.
• The option to build the Archangel-class ship as either the LCAM-01XA Archangel or the LCAM-01XB Dominion, with different bridge antennas and vertical stabilizers.
• The "Lohengrin" cannons and "Gottfried" Beam Cannons can be rearranged into activated/firing modes.
• The "Valiant" Linear Cannons can also be rearranged into activated/firing modes through parts swapping.
• While the parts come in pre-colored plastic, painting is required to achieve a realistic and precise color scheme, especially for the included figurines.
• Assembly typically requires basic modeling tools, and some sources indicate that glue may be needed for the figurines, though the main Archangel model can be snap-assembled.

The product includes:

• Pieces to build the 1/1700 scale Archangel.
• A display stand to showcase the completed model.
• Unpainted, in-scale figurines of mobile suits and vehicles, specifically the Strike Gundam, Buster Gundam, Moebius Zero, and Sky Grasper.

This model kit is intended for collectors and hobbyists who appreciate mechanical intricacies and model fidelity. It is a fantastic choice for fans of "Mobile Suit Gundam SEED" who are looking for a more involved and rewarding project that results in a highly detailed display piece. Experienced model builders will particularly enjoy the opportunity to customize and enhance the model with their own paint schemes.
