The Bandai 1/100 Master Grade MSN-001A1 Delta Plus is Riddhe Marcenas' transformable mobile suit from Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn, derived from the MSN-001 Delta Gundam design. This Master Grade release captures the Delta Plus's distinctive blue and white colour scheme with full transformation into Wave Rider mode and the signature wing binders. It's the definitive version of the Londo Bell squadron's high-mobility transformable mobile suit.
This kit includes approximately 350 parts and features snap-fit construction with no glue required. The Master Grade engineering is designed for advanced builders with experience in transformation mechanisms.
The build centres on the complete transformation system that converts between mobile suit and Wave Rider flight mode without parts swapping. You get the beam rifle, shield with integrated beam saber storage, two beam sabers, two grenades, and the distinctive wing binders that fold for transformation. The colour separation delivers the Delta Plus's blue, white, and grey scheme with minimal painting needed. The kit includes three 1/100 scale pilot figures: Riddhe Marcenas cockpit figure, Audrey Burne standing figure, and an additional cockpit figure. Designed by Katoki Hajime, the engineering features a locking mechanism in Wave Rider mode to prevent accidental collapse during display.
