Bandai Gundam Gunpla

Gundam Aerial (1/144)

This High Grade 1/144 Gundam Aerial kit brings one of the standout designs from Gundam Gunpla into a well-engineered and accessible format. Based on its appearance in Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch of Mercury, the Aerial features a sleek and modern design with a focus on layered armour and integrated systems. The kit is moulded in colour and designed for snap-fit assembly, allowing for a clean build without the need for glue.

A key feature of this kit is its modular shield system, which can be separated into multiple parts and attached across the body in different configurations. Combined with clear parts and double-sided stickers, the kit achieves a sense of depth and visual detail that stands out even without additional painting. The articulation is well designed, supporting a wide range of poses and making it a flexible display piece once complete.

History:

The Gundam Aerial is the main mobile suit of Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch of Mercury, piloted by Suletta Mercury. It is built around advanced GUND-format technology, allowing for a closer link between pilot and machine. One of its defining features is the use of remote weapon units that can combine into a shield or operate independently in combat. This approach represents a new direction in mobile suit design within the Gundam universe, blending traditional combat roles with more flexible, system-driven capabilities. The Aerial has quickly become one of the most recognisable modern Gundam designs and a popular subject within the Gunpla range.
