Gundam Aerial Power Up Your Gundam Aerial with the HG 1/144 Mirasoul Flight Unit Equipment! A review of the latest kit with great play value!

After the shocking end of "Mobile Suit Gundam Mercury Witch (1st season)," expectations for the second season, which will start in April, are rising, and as if to stir up the enthusiasm of fans, new Gunpla kits are appearing one after another.

Among the various kits that appeared in January, the "HG 1/144 Mirasoul Flight Unit Equipment" has been attracting a lot of attention. In the sixth episode of the first season, "Depressing Song," the Gundam Aerial was forced to engage in a mid-air battle with the Gundam Falakt. In order to strengthen the Aerial, which lacked propulsion capability, the Earth Dormitory crew, including Mika's sister, restored the "MiraSoul Flight Unit," a strengthening part.

Now that this has been made into a kit, your Aerial at home will surely become even stronger and cooler.

New Gundam Model Kits Review] I tried to detail up the main MS "HG 1/144 Gundam Aerial" of "Mobile Suit Gundam: Witch of Mercury" in a handy and cool way!

So let's get started with the review!

The package design emphasizes the flight unit. The color scheme is fresh, with white as the base color.

There are only two types of runners, but they are colorful with four molded colors.

The missing colors are complemented with stickers.

Check out the flight unit!

I assembled it straight away, and it took less than 30 minutes to complete. By using molded colors and stickers, the coloring is almost exactly the same as the settings. The left and right boosters, connecting arms, and the backpack itself will have mating lines, so if you want to modify them, it would be a good idea to remove these areas. The left and right boosters are connected to the backpack body by crank-shaped connecting arms. The connection is a ball joint, so it can be moved quite flexibly.

The back side looks like this. There is a lot of detail.

The side view is like this. The round parts are movable thrusters. This flight unit can be assembled at ......

Dock the flight unit to the HG 1/144 Gundam Aerial!

First, remove the backpack of the Aerial.

Set the handle of the beam saber on the projection inside the boost.

Dock this to the Aerial!

The Gundam Aerial equipped with MiraSoul's flight unit is now complete!

As mentioned above, it is ball-jointed and connected to the main body with a connecting arm, so it can be ......

The angle of the boost can be adjusted freely according to the body position, and the position of the boost can be changed so that it does not interfere with the fuselage.

Also, this round part is the vernier unit, as mentioned earlier.

By pulling out the vernier, you can recreate a high maneuver mode with even more enhanced mobility!

The flat hand parts are also utilized!

The "HG 1/144 Mirasoul Flight Unit Equipment" also comes with flat hand parts for the Gundam Aerial.

Using these parts, you can display the Gundam Aerial even more coolly.

Using the flat hands, the poses of the figure can be made even more expressive.

The saber is ready for battle! I also set the flight units parallel to each other, facing in the direction of travel, to give the impression of an assault stance.

If both are set flat, and the flight unit is pointed directly back, an aerial image of high maneuverability and action is created!

And the shocking end of the first season can be reproduced at ......!

Stop! Bachin!

I made it with a red background. ......

The "HG 1/144 Gundam Aerial" has always had high play value, but by combining it with the "HG 1/144 Mirasoul Flight Unit Equipment" you can expand the scope of play even further.

Let's try docking it to other MS as well!

You can connect the "HG 1/144 Mirasoul Flight Unit Equipment" not only to the Gundam Aerial, but to any Gunpla kit that has two pins to connect the backpack.

Let's dock it with the "HG 1/144 Gundam Lubris" as a test. Since the connection is made with the same two pins, it looks like it can be attached without any problem.

Gundam Lubris Flight Unit equipped version! As the package shows a photo of the flight unit connected to the "HG 1/144 Demitrainer," it seems that any Gunpla in the same format can be freely equipped with the flight unit.

It would be interesting to create your own MS equipped with a flight unit, without being bound by the settings of the anime. We hope that everyone will try to recreate "your own story" with Gunpla, which is not something that someone else has drawn!
