Assembly Notes
This model kit is suitable for both seasoned builders and newcomers. While it offers a rewarding building experience, some components may require careful handling due to their detailed nature. An action base is not included but can be purchased separately to enhance display possibilities.
We wouldn't have thought that Bandai could have improved on their Master Grade kit of the Gundam Mk-II (except, of course, with a PG version!) -- until we saw the Version 2.0!
Newly-designed joints allow it incredibly realistic posing -- especially in the legs.
A tighter bend at the knee, and a joint that divides the heel and toe of the foot, provides better balance for "" poses, and gives your Mk-II a realistic appearance when it's crouching, as though it's about to spring into action at any time!
The kit is all molded in colour and snaps together; vinyl tubing is included for weapons detail.
Also included is a catapult display stand -- and three scale figures (one pilot and two maintenance crew) for positioning around the Mk-II while it's "
Not just an improvement on the original kit, the Version 2.0 takes the Mk-II to a whole new level! It's only available in A.E.U.G. colours for now (but will probably come out in Titans colours soon!).
