Bandai 1/100 MG RX-0 Unicorn Gundam 02 Banshee Ver.Ka
Bandai 1/100 MG RX-0 Unicorn Gundam 02 Banshee Ver.Ka
The Bandai 1/100 MG RX-0 Unicorn Gundam 02 Banshee Ver.Ka is a Master Grade model kit designed by Hajime Katoki that captures the Banshee as it appeared in the original Gundam Unicorn novel. This kit represents the black and gold variant before the animated adaptation introduced the Banshee Norn configuration. The Banshee is the second Unicorn-type mobile suit built under the UC Project, featuring the same transforming psycho-frame technology as its sibling unit. This Ver.Ka edition brings Katoki's refined mechanical interpretation into your collection with full transformation capability, premium gold water slide decals, and the distinctive lion crest that sets it apart from the standard Unicorn.
This kit is designed for advanced builders and includes over 400 parts with complex transformation mechanisms. The 1/100 scale provides exceptional detail and presence while showcasing the intricate psycho-frame engineering.
The Banshee Ver.Ka features a complete transforming inner psycho-frame that shifts between Unicorn Mode and NT-D (Destroy Mode) with extended proportions and exposed frame details. The kit includes beam magnum, four beam sabers, transforming Armed Armor BS shield, and beam smart gun. Colour separation is achieved through multi-colour moulding in black, gold, and clear yellow that captures the distinctive novel-version appearance, enhanced by an extensive sheet of gold water slide decals for maximum detail.

Build Notes:
This is a snap-fit plastic model kit that requires no glue for assembly. Nippers or side cutters are recommended for removing parts from runners. The transformation mechanism is complex and requires careful assembly for smooth shifting between Unicorn and Destroy modes. The psycho-frame parts are moulded in clear yellow plastic. Water slide decal application requires decal solution and setting solution for best results. Panel lining will enhance the intricate mechanical details throughout the kit. The Armed Armor BS can transform between shield and beam smart gun configurations. Action Base sold separately for NT-D activation display poses. Build time approximately 15-20 hours depending on experience level and decal application.
