HG 1/100 #10 Gundam Astray Red Frame

The HG 1/100 #10 Gundam Astray Red Frame is an injection-plastic model kit manufactured by BANDAI HOBBY. This High Grade (HG) kit, in 1/100 scale, allows enthusiasts to build a detailed and posable representation of the Gundam Astray Red Frame, a mobile suit piloted by Lowe Guele from the popular Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Astray series. Released in 2004, it was highly praised for its articulation and features, often likened to a Master Grade kit despite being an HG.

Key features of this model kit include its snap-fit assembly, meaning no glue is required for construction, and parts molded in color, reducing the need for extensive painting. The model boasts impressive articulation for its grade, allowing for a wide range of dynamic poses. Its signature weapon, the Gerbera Straight katana, features a nicely chromed blade for a metallic look. The kit also offers some customization options, including compatibility with older Striker Packs via an adapter on the backpack.

The product typically includes:

• Pieces to build the Gundam Astray Red Frame
• "Gerbera Straight" Katana
• Katana scabbard
• Beam Rifle
• Shield
• 2 Beam Sabers
• Manipulators (weapon-holding and trigger-finger hands)
• Stickers for detail
• Instruction manual

This model kit is suitable for Gundam hobbyists and enthusiasts of various skill levels, from those new to model building to more experienced modelers who may wish to further enhance the kit with paint and panel lining for a more refined appearance. It is particularly appealing to fans of the Mobile Suit Gundam SEED / Destiny / Astray series who appreciate detailed and highly posable mobile suit models.
