Bandai 1/144 HGUC RX-9/A Narrative Gundam A Packs

Bandai 1/144 HGUC RX-9/A Narrative Gundam A Packs

The HGUC 1/144 RX-9/A Narrative Gundam A Packs is Jona Basta's mobile suit from Mobile Suit Gundam NT (Narrative), equipped with the A Equipment backpack configuration. This is the heavy artillery version of the Narrative Gundam, and the kit reflects that with a substantial backpack assembly loaded with beam weaponry and missile launchers. It's a visually commanding kit that displays well and offers two configurations in one build.

The A Packs configuration is the Narrative Gundam's heaviest armament loadout, featuring a large backpack unit with multiple beam rifles, missiles, and a Giant Beam Cannon — all included in this kit.

The backpack is fully detachable, so you can display the Narrative Gundam in its base form or with the full A Equipment attached. For an HGUC kit, the part count and build complexity sit comfortably in beginner-to-intermediate territory, making it accessible without feeling lightweight. The A Packs backpack gives the finished model genuine shelf presence.

What Makes This Kit Special

  • A Equipment Backpack: Large detachable backpack unit with beam rifles, missile launchers, and Giant Beam Cannon — the Narrative Gundam's heaviest armament configuration
  • Two Display Configurations: Display with full A Packs equipped or detach the backpack for the base Narrative Gundam form
  • HGUC Engineering: Standard High Grade Universal Century construction with solid articulation for the scale
  • Good Colour Separation: Core colour blocking achieved through part separation, minimal painting required
  • Gundam NT Series Design: Faithfully recreates the RX-9/A as seen in Mobile Suit Gundam NT
  • Substantial Display Presence: The A Packs backpack gives the kit a larger, more imposing footprint than a standard HGUC

Assembly Guide

SKILL LEVEL REQUIRED
Skill Level.2 Basic modeling skills are required. Parental supervision may be required for younger children. These kits are generally suitable for beginner builders. A basic set of modeling tools are required including nippers, hobby knife, sanding sticks/paper, file, and tweezers. No glue is needed for the general assembly. Parts will need to be removed by using a pair of nippers and cutting the part away from the runner. Parts may require clean-up where they were removed from the runner.
No Cement Required

Gunpla (plastic model kits) are a snap together assembly and do not need plastic cement to complete. We always recommend having some plastic cement handy as a part of your modeler's tool kit. If you prefer to fix your model in a particular pose then plastic cement will work. Plastic cement is also perfect to use if a joint is loose. Apply plastic cement in a single thin layer and allow it to dry completely before test fitting. Re-apply more cement if necessary.

No Painting Required

Gunpla (plastic model kits) are designed to be built and displayed without the need for painting. Kits are molded in different colours replicating the colours of the actual mecha from the Mecha series. A technique called colour separation, where multiple parts of the model are molded in different colours on the same sprue is also used. Mecha kits often include stickers or water-slide decals that can be applied to the model to enhance its appearance. Some Gunpla kits come with pre-painted parts or parts with pre-applied details, such as metallic or translucent finishes.

Many modelers still choose to paint their kits to customize and add further detail. Painting allows for more creativity and personalization, enabling modelers to achieve unique effects, weathering, and colour schemes that may not be available out of the box. However, the kits are designed to be enjoyable and visually appealing even without painting, making them accessible to a wide range of hobbyists.

Frequently Asked Questions

This Narrative Gundam is huge! Is it hard to build for a beginner?

Don't let the size intimidate you! The A-Packs uses HGUC's standard snap-fit system and clear instructions, making it manageable even for newcomers. Plus, its modular design allows you to build it in stages, appreciating its scale as it grows.

How does the A-Packs affect articulation? Won't it be stiff?

Surprisingly, the A-Packs actually enhances articulation! The hip joints are widened for full leg movement, and stands are included to support the massive armaments. You can still achieve dynamic poses and aerial maneuvers, just with a little extra planning.

Is the pre-molded white and light gray enough, or can I customize it?

While the pre-molded colours look fantastic, the A-Packs is a canvas for your creativity! Decals add unique markings, hand-painting brings weathering effects or custom details, and you can even swap parts with other HGUC kits. Make it your own legend!

How does it compare to other HGUC kits in terms of shelf presence?

Prepare to be dominated! The A-Packs is a shelf-stealer, its imposing size and intricate armor drawing all eyes. Its large beam sabers and display bases further solidify its position as a centerpiece of your collection.

Anything else I should know before welcoming this aerial titan to my shelf?

Some reviews mention slightly loose joints in certain areas, easily fixable with hobby glue or tightening techniques. Overall, the Narrative Gundam A-Packs is a rewarding build and a must-have for any Gunpla enthusiast who loves unique designs and shelf dominance. Just be prepared for its awe-inspiring presence and the endless possibilities for customization!

Great selection of kit, excellent value for money

Awesome kit, great extras. Only criticism is that the kit comes with a base so you don't need the second one. The kit also doesn't have the ability to take the blue LED bonus so if you don't have another use for it it is wasted. Luckily, I'm a Gundam tragic so will always have uses for extra bases and lighting kits.

Excellent service and fast delivery

I purchased on 6 Jan and my order arrived on 13 Jan. It was very well packed, with both boxes in excellent condition. Cam even provided a small free gift in the box! Overall purchasing experience was smooth and hassle-free. I haven’t had the chance to build the kit yet, but based on the service and care taken with shipping, I would happily purchase from this store if there are other Space Battleship Yamato models available.

Very rare with fair price

If you were one of the lucky ones that were able to travel to Sydney Gundam Base pop-up in 2025 and queued extremely early (like the first 40 or so) on the first day, probably you were able to grab one of these. Otherwise, the only alternative I would know of is traveling to Japan and being uber lucky of having it still being sold at Gundam bases. Otherwise, it's a second-hand market, and prices will go up. That said, the price was fair, I think it would be similar price as using a dropship service from Japan, with the exception that it's much faster and way more guaranteed you will get proper merchandise. So, Mecha Express, Cam, thank you so much for your store!
