It's been a decade since "Martian Successor Nadesico" made its resounding splash on the anime scene--and the ripples are still being felt today! Now Bandai gives fans who missed out the first time a great chance to make up for lost time, by reissuing its 1997 Artillery Battle Frame Aestivalis High Grade snap-fit kit. Parts come molded in color, and the mecha will feature polycap-jointed articulation upon completion. Anchors extend out the back of the legs, artillery-style, to brace the machine when firing its big 120mm cannon. The Assault Pit (and any other Assault Pits from other Battle Frame Aestivalis HG kits) can be attached to the Battle Frame. A sheet of foil stickers is provided so no painting is required (but would add a more realistic appearance to the final product).
