Description
This is a posable, Master-Grade injection-plastic kit of an item from the Gundam universe.
Shinn Asuka's Sword Impulse Gundam made its flashy introduction in the first episode of the "Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny," and now is offered as this much-anticipated Master Grade kit! Utilizing the same hyper-detailed and extremely well-articulated body frame from MG Force Impulse Gundam, the Mobile Suit comes packed with its Sword Silhouette to complete Sword Impulse Gundam.
Sharply molded in color, the transformable Impulse Gundam is formed by three main parts: Chest Flyer, Core Splendor, and Leg Flyer. Core Splendor's cockpit can be opened to insert an in-scale sitting pilot figure. In addition, landing gear are provided for both the Chest Flyer and Leg Flyer as a original gimmick that's never seen in the anime! The Sword Silhouette pack carried by the Silhouette Flyer can be attached to the back of the Mobile Suit to form Sword Impulse Gundam.
Its weapons include a pair of Anti-Ship Laser Swords that can be combined into a double-bladed sword, a Beam Rifle, two Assault Knives, and an openable shield. The wing section of the Sword Silhouette pack is detachable for use as a giant boomerang, plus it can also be turned into a pair of Flash Edge beam boomerangs. Unpainted 1/100-scale figures of Shinn Asuka and Lunamaria Hawke (both molded in white) are packed in the set along with foil stickers, dry-transfer decals, and marking stickers to add detail to the completed model. Note: The Action Base 1 shown in the photos below is not included, sold separately.

Assembly Guide
Skill Level 3:
Basic Skills Required
Kits rated as skill level 3 are traditional model kits that require all basic modeling skills to complete. This includes cutting parts from runners and trimming or sanding them prior to use, assembling them with cement, and the use of paint to complete them.
To properly complete a level 3 kit, you should have at least a basic set of modeling supplies, including plastic nippers, a hobby knife, files and/or sandpaper, plastic cement, instant (cyanoacrylate) cement (for resin, soft-vinyl or metal parts), painting supplies including brushes, paint, thinner and masking tape, tweezers and possibly decal softener for applying decals to difficult areas.
Kits in this class are not suitable for small children unless there is complete parental supervision. Adults who have never before completed a plastic model kit may want to read one of the many excellent modeling guides available at most hobby shops before trying to build one of these kits.
Skill level 3 kits include a very large portion of our catalog. Most traditional plastic model kits fall into this category.
No Cement Required

This item does not require the use of cement to complete. Some modelers prefer to use cement on snap-together kits in order to fix them into a particular pose, or make a joint more secure. However, this is not required to complete these kits.
No Painting Required
This item does not require painting.

Either the item is completely pre-painted, such as an action figure or other completed figure, or it is molded in the colors of the finished item so that it appears natural after you have assembled it. Note that kits which are molded in their final colors will always look better when painted, even if this is not required. At the very least, a light coat of flat clear spray will make a science-fiction kit look much less toy-like after assembly. The same goes for some action figures as well.
