HG 1/100 Altron Gundam

The HG 1/100 Altron Gundam by BANDAI HOBBY is a plastic model kit from the Mobile Suit Gundam Wing series, specifically representing the XXXG-01S2 Altron Gundam, an upgraded version of the Shenlong Gundam. This High Grade (HG) 1/100 scale kit, released around 1996, offers a detailed and accurate recreation of the iconic mobile suit. It is designed for snap-fit assembly, meaning no glue is required, and features pre-colored plastic parts, eliminating the need for paint to achieve its anime-accurate appearance.

Key features of the HG 1/100 Altron Gundam include:

• 1/100 scale, providing a larger and more detailed model compared to 1/144 scale kits.
• Snap-fit assembly for ease of construction without the need for adhesive.
• Colored plastic runners, allowing for a vibrant, show-accurate look straight out of the box.
• Articulation for various posing options, though some older kits in this line may have limited dynamic posing capabilities without modification.
• Recreates the Altron Gundam's distinctive "dragon fang" extending arms and claws, which are a signature weapon of the mobile suit.
• Features the double-ended Twin Beam Trident as its primary weapon.
• Includes back-mounted "wing binders" that enhance mobility, particularly in space, and a "stinger tail" with beam cannons for ranged firepower.

What's included in the kit:

• Plastic runners for all the parts of the Altron Gundam.
• Foil stickers for details like eyes and cameras, and marking seals.
• Instruction manual, which may be in Japanese but typically includes clear diagrams for assembly.
• Accessories such as the Twin Beam Trident and the Altron Shield.
• Multiple hand options for holding weapons and dynamic poses.

This product is ideal for:

• Fans of the Mobile Suit Gundam Wing anime series who want to own a model of the Altron Gundam.
• Model builders looking for a High Grade 1/100 scale kit that offers a straightforward building experience.
• Collectors of vintage Gunpla, as this kit was originally manufactured in 1996.
• Hobbyists interested in customizing and painting model kits, though it can be enjoyed unpainted due to its pre-colored plastic.
