Bandai 30MM Armored Core VI Fires Of Rubicon Arquebus ADD VE-40A Open Face

Bandai 30MM Armored Core VI Fires of Rubicon Arquebus ADD VE-40A Open Face

Arquebus represents the cutting edge of corporate warfare on Rubicon 3. The VE-40A Open Face configuration strips away the traditional head unit for a more aggressive, exposed sensor array design. It's a statement build. High mobility, advanced targeting, and the kind of aesthetic that says you're not here to play by conventional rules. Armored Core VI gave players the freedom to build their perfect AC, and the VE-40A became a favourite for those who valued speed and precision over raw armour. This 30MM kit captures that philosophy perfectly.

What makes this kit special is the completeness of the loadout. You're getting the VP-66EG rifle, VE-67LLA laser lance set, VE-60SNA sniper cannon, and Vvc-70VPM vertical missile launcher. That's a full arsenal straight from the game, giving you the weapons to recreate iconic Arquebus builds or experiment with your own configurations. The 30MM system means every weapon, every joint, every connection point is standardised for compatibility with the entire line. The open face design is distinctive and aggressive. This is Arquebus engineering at its finest.

What Makes This Kit Special:

  • VE-40A Open Face Design: Distinctive Arquebus configuration with exposed sensor array
  • Complete Arsenal: VP-66EG rifle, VE-67LLA laser lance, VE-60SNA sniper, Vvc-70VPM missiles

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

How difficult is the assembly for someone new to 30MM kits?

The 30MM series is designed for easy snap-fit assembly, making it beginner-friendly. No glue is required, and the instructions are clear, so you can enjoy building it even if you're new to model kits.

What kind of customization options does this kit offer?

This kit includes interchangeable armor parts and weapon systems, allowing you to customize the Arquebus VE-40A's appearance and loadout to your preference.

Is this model kit compatible with other 30MM or Armored Core model kits?

Yes, this kit is part of the 30MM (30 Minutes Missions) line, meaning it is designed to be compatible and in scale with other 30MM kits. While not explicitly stated to be compatible with other Armored Core model lines, it is designed to be a stand alone Armored Core VI kit.

What materials is the model kit made of, and is it durable?

The 30MM Arquebus kit is made primarily from durable plastic, ensuring a sturdy and long-lasting model once assembled.

Is this a limited-edition release, and will it be restocked?

While not labeled as a strictly limited-edition release, the popularity of Armored Core VI and this specific model may lead to high demand and potential stock shortages. It's recommended to purchase it sooner rather than later if you're interested.

Everything was well packed, arrived promptly, and came with a postcard and part separator as a welcome gift. Very impressed.

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!
