The Archangel's bridge, scaled to sit with your 1/144 HG kits
This is the bridge of the Archangel, the Earth Alliance assault ship from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, built at 1/144 so it can share a shelf with High Grade kits. It is MegaHouse's G Structure GS04M, the Material Colour Edition: an unpainted kit moulded in separate colours, with partly pre-assembled parts. It also includes extension legs and a Gunpla support stand so you can recreate the scene where the Freedom Gundam swoops in during episode 35.
Build difficulty
MegaHouse describes this kit as easy to put together even for beginners, with some parts already assembled. Painting is optional: the colours are moulded in, and you can paint it or use the included waterslide decals for more detail.
Technical highlights
The hull is moulded in white with red, orange and grey parts, and the kit ships unpainted. Four extension legs raise the bridge for display, and the clear Gunpla support stand holds a 1/144 kit in a flight pose beside it. The finished bridge is about 35 cm wide, 33 cm deep and 22.5 cm tall, or roughly 36 cm tall on the extension legs. MegaHouse lists no lighting or moving parts.
What makes this kit special
-
Built for 1/144 HG displays: the scale matches High Grade Gundam kits, so a kit can stand on or beside the bridge.
-
Unpainted Material Colour Edition: the plastic keeps its moulded colours, which makes it a good base for painting or weathering.
-
Four extension legs: raise the bridge for the Freedom Gundam arrival scene from episode 35.
-
Gunpla support stand included: a clear stand to hold your HG kit in a flight pose.
-
Waterslide decals: mini marking decals to add detail if you want it.
-
Partly pre-assembled parts: MegaHouse supplies some parts already assembled to keep the build easy.

What to watch for
Builder write-ups for this unpainted Material Colour Edition are thin, so there is no verified list of build issues yet. One thing worth knowing: MegaHouse describes painting as optional, so expect plain moulded colours unless you paint it.
Build notes
This is an unpainted kit, so expect plain moulded colours unless you paint it. The product photos show a painted example with the decals applied, and the kit itself ships unpainted. Nippers and a hobby knife are the tools you will want.
