Here is the package and attached seal.Stickers will reproduce the color coding of various sensors, Shell Units, GUND-BITs, etc.
Accessories include beam rifle, beam saber x2, escutcheon, beam rifle replacement parts, and chest shell unit clear parts.
The chest shell unit comes with In-mold molding parts that were also used in AERIAL before renovation. It is a selection formula from 3 patterns, whether to use this or to reproduce the light emission / non-light emission by combining stickers and clear parts.
This is the finished [HGWFM] “GUNDAM AERIAL REBUILD”.Appearance after renovation of AERIAL that appeared in the final episode of the first season of the anime “MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM the WITCH from MERCURY”. Her coloring is mainly blue, and an optional flight unit is attached to her back.
In the kit, the shell unit of the whole body can be reproduced by selecting the luminous / non-luminous state, just like the AERIAL before the repair. The escutcheon shield separates and becomes GUND-Bits, which is the same as before the renovation. In addition, the gimmick that docks with the AERIAL main body and the beam rifle has been reproduced, and the contents of the kit itself were quite playable.
Side by side with AERIAL before renovation. AERIAL whose upper body has become blue as much as the red and yellow components have decreased. The name of the aircraft is not unique like WING-ZERO or Barbatos Lupus, but REBUILD is fresh.
The twin eyes on the head are color-coded by dividing the parts, and you can choose green or red eyes with a sticker like the pre-repair AERIAL. The shell unit on the forehead reproduces the luminous state by pasting a sticker. The gray of the mask part is color-coded with slits.
The sensor on the back of the head is also color-coded by dividing the parts, and this can also be made red with a sticker.
The contents of the head are the same as before the renovation, such as twin eyes, vulcans, and yellow parts on the sides.
Comparison with the head of AERIAL before renovation. The big difference is that the antenna on the side of the head was shortened, and the antenna was added to the forehead. Before assembling the plastic model, I thought they were almost the same, but when I compare them like this, they are quite different.
The yellow part of the torso has been removed and the blue main color gives it a slightly cleaner appearance. The chest shell unit can reproduce the luminous state using in-mold parts with good coloring, and you can also select the non-luminous state using a sticker. The eyeball pattern on the abdomen is reproduced with a sticker.
Since I used an in-mold molded part this time, I put a non-light-emitting sticker on the base, but only the bottom side of the shell unit became non-light-emitting. Even if you use in-mold molding, it seems that you have to put a sticker in a luminous state.
The shoulder armor, which was white before the renovation, is now blue. A slit to attach GUND-Bit is molded on the side, and the black and green sensor-like parts on the front and back of the armor are color-coded with stickers.
The hand part is only the handle and the open hand is not included, but you can use the one that comes with the separately sold MIRASOUL FLIGHT UNIT as it is. There is a shaft hole on the side for attaching the escutcheon shield, but it was changed to a rectangular slit.
A backpack that has changed greatly from before the renovation. Units are molded on the top and bottom, and GUND-Bit can be docked to the lower unit. Two beam sabers are mounted in the same position as before the renovation.
The yellow fin parts at the tip of the unit reproduce the deployment gimmick.
The upper unit can be moved flexibly with the axis pin and C joint.
The unit connection part at the bottom is designed like a spherical joint, but in the kit it was a simple shaft pin.
A beam rifle can be mounted on the flight unit. Unlike before the renovation, it was possible to connect directly without using joint parts.
The flight unit was a two-axis type compatible with other kits.
The waist area looks as clean as before the renovation, but the impression is that it has changed to a slightly rugged design. The hip joint can be opened nearly 180 degrees, and the red V-shaped part on the front is reproduced as a separate part.
The legs are divided into small parts, such as the yellow slits on the thighs and the gray knees. The knee joint is a C-joint type that is easy to disassemble.
The thigh shell unit is reproduced by covering it with clear parts on top of the sticker. The green light-emitting part below is also color-coded with a sticker.
The ankle parts change from red to blue. The toes and heels are movable with ball shafts, and the fin-shaped parts on the heels and soles need to be painted gray.
A modified beam rifle. The upper site is color-coded with stickers, and shaft holes for attaching GUND-Bits are formed in various parts of the rifle. It’s hard to see after assembly, but there were some color-coded stickers inside the muzzle.
Reproducible two-handed form by replacing parts. The armor of the trigger grip part can be slid, but the barrel and the foregrip parts on both sides can be replaced and deployed.
The escutcheon shield is actually the main body of AERIAL. As before the repair, a shield was formed by attaching GUND-Bit to the base part.
The escutcheon can be separated to reproduce 11 GUND-Bits. All GUND-Bits are single parts, and there were quite a few parts such as the white parts that were color-coded by stickers. GUND-Bit is compatible with the previously released THE WITCH FROM MERCURY WEAPON DISPLAY BASE.
By docking the GUND-Bit with the beam rifle, the gimmick that becomes the GUND-Bit rifle is reproduced. Connect the GUND-Bit to a two-handed rifle.
Reproduce Bit on Form by connecting 11 GUND-Bits to AERIAL. The shoulders, arms, thighs, and other parts that connect the GUND-Bit are the same as before the repair, and I don’t think it will change the impression completely, but this form is also cool.
I think that the GUND-Bit on the thigh interfered with the movement of the leg before the repair, but in REBUILD it seems to interfere a little and not affect that much.
GUND-Bit is also attached to the rear armor and the bottom of the flight unit. The flight unit can be attached tightly, so it won’t come off easily.
Equipped with beam rifle and escutcheon.
SULETTA brainwashing completed! ! We will protect MIORINE REMBRAN with AERIAL REBUILD! ! ! !
Two beam sabers of the same flat type as before the repair are included. I opened the fin parts of the flight unit, but the yellow color makes it stand out.
Expand GUND-Bit using THE WITCH FROM MERCURY WEAPON DISPLAY BASE (sold separately). In order to float all 11 GUND-Bits, 2 sets of bases are required.

Action with Bit on Form. At the end of the 2nd term, I wonder if it will power up by one more step?
Beam rifle in two-handed form. The chest and waist are not connected, but just supported, but they can be held tightly.
Furthermore, connect GUND-Bit and change to GUND-Bit rifle form. It fires an anti-ship class high-power beam! !
I got my heart pierced…
