With a massive height of 50cm and a wingspan of 60cm, you get a lot of bang for your yen with this new version of the Strike Freedom!

At its base, this is a regular snap-together plastic Gundam kit; all the parts are molded in colour, and you will need no paint or glue for assembly. Foil stickers and clear Gundam stickers are included for detail.

The only thing that makes this kit different from any other 1/60 scale kit is the lighting throughout! Dozens of translucent yellow and blue parts are included, as well as lighting contacts, light bulbs, and a diode. The lighting starts at the included display base, and the wiring is integral to the building of the kit itself; simple pictorial instructions will get you through the construction with a little patience (and perhaps the experience of having built a fairly complex Gundam kit before).

1 CR1220 and 3 AA batteries are required, but not included. A teeny scale (non-painted) model of Kira Yamato is included; and all of the Strike Freedom Gundam's weaponry is included -- the Dragoon, rail guns, beam sabres, beam rifles, and a beam shield (though unfortunately these don't light up).
