Bandai 1/144 NG 30MM EXM-A9K Spinatio (Knight Specification)

A Maxion Army knight in an all-in-one 1/144 kit

The 30MM Spinatio (Knight Type) is the knight variant of the Spinatio, the mass-produced unit of the Maxion Army in the 30 Minutes Missions line. Bandai describes it as an all-in-one item: the base body, the armour parts and the weapon parts are all in the one box, so there is nothing else to buy to get a finished knight.

The armour is silver over a navy and grey frame, with a visored helm, a long sword and a kite-style shield.

Build difficulty

Bandai rates it 8+ and says no parts are sandwiched during assembly, so you are not trapping pieces between halves. Parts are cut from the runner with nippers, and a hobby knife or sanding stick tidies nub marks. Bandai's notes do not call for glue or paint. Tools are not included.

Technical highlights

This is a 30MM kit, so the body is built around 3 mm joints and the armour sits on top of it. Bandai says the armour pieces, including the head visor, are detachable, so you can display it armoured or as the bare frame. The sword stores inside the shield and can be attached to the back. A grip part in the box lets the shield be fitted to other 30MM units. The instruction manual also notes a connector for the Action Base 5, sold separately.

What makes this kit special

  • All in one: body, armour and weapons together, per Bandai.
  • Detachable armour: including the head visor, so the frame underneath shows.
  • Sword stowage: the sword stores inside the shield and attaches to the back.
  • Knight-specific weapons and armour: a sword and shield made for this variant.
  • Shield grip part: lets the shield be used on other 30MM units, per Bandai.

  • Sword (1)
  • Shield (1)
  • Weapon-holding hands, left and right (1 pair)

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

Amazing Build, my Grandson loved it!

I purchased this kit and one other for my grandsons birthday. He loved building it and found it easy to follow. My order arrived in super fast time and was beautifully packed. It even had some wonderful freebies in the box which was really great. Excellent product and service in every way!

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!
