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 Akatuki Custom Aestivalis High Grade snap-fit kit. Parts come molded in color, and the mecha will feature polycap-jointed articulation upon completion. Weapons include a rapid rifle and an immediate knife, and the Assault Pit 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).
