The complete display measures over 500 mm in total length, making this one of the largest HG kits in the Cosmic Era line and the headline kit that closes the SEED Freedom HG range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit is for SEED Destiny \/ SEED Freedom collectors who want the centrepiece of the shelf, and for builders ready to take on the longest assembly in the SEED Freedom HG range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBuild difficulty\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHG 1\/144 snap-fit with the SEED Action System internal structure. Bandai rate it age 8 and over. Mecha Express tags it intermediate and advanced, because the Zeus Silhouette assembly adds substantial part count and configuration steps on top of the standard Destiny Spec II build. Expect 8 to 12 hours total at a relaxed pace, longer if you panel line or work through the multiple Zeus modes. No glue.

Wings of Light, Palma Fiocina hand effects, the Beam Shield, and the Beam Boomerangs all ship as clear-material effect parts for a built-in luminous read. Standard armaments include the Arondight Beam Sword and the High-energy Long-range Beam Cannon. The Zeus Silhouette is the headline: an extra-large support armament that transforms individually into an MA form, with opening hatches on the back and legs that expose internal missile warheads via parts swap. The kit ships with an included Action Base to support the massive 500 mm+ display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat makes this kit special\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e500 mm+ total display length.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Destiny Spec II + Zeus Silhouette combination is the longest HG display in the Cosmic Era line.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eZeus Silhouette transforms to MA mode.\u003c\/strong\u003e Independent transformation, not just a backpack accessory.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOpening hatches with exposed missile state.\u003c\/strong\u003e Back and leg hatches open on the Zeus, parts swap to reveal the missile warheads inside.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWings of Light in clear material.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Destiny's signature wings reproduced in clear plastic for a built-in luminous effect.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull Destiny loadout.\u003c\/strong\u003e Arondight Beam Sword, High-energy Long-range Beam Cannon, Beam Shield, Beam Boomerangs, and Palma Fiocina hand effects.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAction Base included.\u003c\/strong\u003e Rare for an HG: the kit ships with the display base needed to support the 500 mm+ silhouette.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the box\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRunners for the Destiny Gundam Spec II (ZGMF\/A-42S2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRunners for the Zeus Silhouette support armament\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWings of Light effect parts (clear material)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePalma Fiocina hand effect parts (clear material)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeam Shield (clear material)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeam Boomerangs (clear material)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArondight Beam Sword\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-energy Long-range Beam Cannon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard HG hand parts set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAction Base (included for Zeus Silhouette display)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSticker sheet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCompatible kits and accessories\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a mobile suit kit with an oversized support armament.

Free shipping Australia-wide on orders over $199. Genuine Australian stock in hand, not ordered through an overseas proxy. Packed securely in a sturdy outer box with water-soluble cornstarch void fill that dissolves cleanly in the sink.

No significant build weaknesses have been called out. The Zeus Silhouette's size means the included Action Base is essential, not optional, because the kit doesn't stand independently in its full configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBuilder Tips.\u003c\/strong\u003e Build the Destiny Spec II first as a standalone, then move to the Zeus Silhouette so you can take breaks between major sub-assemblies. A black panel line marker reads well on the Destiny's coloured armour. The Wings of Light clear parts respond well to a thin coat of clear coloured paint (cyan or pink to match the in-film glow), but they read fine as moulded. Set the Action Base position before final attachment of the Zeus to the Destiny, because adjusting the centre of gravity after assembly is fiddly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBuild notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo glue required for the standard build, this is snap-fit. A basic Gunpla tool kit (sharp side cutters or nippers, a hobby knife for clean-up, a panel line marker) is recommended though not essential. Allow 8 to 12 hours total build time at a relaxed pace, longer if you panel line or work through both the Destiny Spec II and the Zeus Silhouette transformation sequences carefully. Recommended age 8 and over per the Bandai box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLast updated: 23 June 2026 (AEST)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bandai","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46311409385714,"sku":"5067428","price":118.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0026\/9503\/6974\/files\/mea-hg-destiny-spec-ii-zeus-front.jpg?v=1782278127","url":"https:\/\/mechaexpressaustralia.com.au\/products\/bandai-1-144-hg-destiny-gundam-spec-ii-zeus-silhouette","provider":"Mecha Express Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
