Bandai 1/144 30MM EXM-H15D Acerby (Type-D)

The Maxion Army's Type-D Acerby, now with a new blade

The EXM-H15D Acerby (Type-D) is the fourth release in Bandai's 30 Minutes Missions Acerby line, a compact, highly poseable Mobile Worker figure-kit built around the Maxion Army EXAMACS chassis. Where the Type-A through Type-C releases were mostly colour variants on the same parts, Type-D brings genuinely new armour and weapon tooling, headlined by a translucent energy blade.

Build difficulty

Snap-fit, no cement, moulded in colour with no painting required to get the finished look. Around the same part count and complexity as a standard High Grade kit. The redesigned feet on this release have deeper ball joint sockets and a wider footprint than earlier Acerby types, which makes it noticeably easier to get the kit standing in a pose and keep it there.

Technical highlights

The Type-D's headline feature is the newly designed energy blade, a translucent clear blue sword that stores in a sheath and deploys for close-quarters poses, matching the clear blue visor on the adjustable head unit. Two armour sets attach at the shoulders and waist, and the head visor swaps between a streamlined profile and a more defensive-looking configuration. The kit is moulded in bright orange, pure white, and matte anthracite grey.

What makes this kit special

  • New translucent energy blade: a clear blue sword, removable from its sheath, exclusive to the Type-D release.
  • Adjustable head visor: swap between a streamlined and a defensive profile by replacing parts.
  • Redesigned feet: deeper ball joints and a wider foot than earlier Acerby types, for genuinely better standing stability in a pose.
  • Two attachable armour sets: shoulder and waist armour pieces for a bulkier combat silhouette.
  • Blade submachine gun included: alongside the energy blade, for a mixed ranged and melee loadout.

What to watch for

Independent builder write-ups on the Type-D consistently flag the same thing: it's still a little top-heavy because of the head design, though noticeably less so than the earlier Type-A through Type-C releases thanks to the redesigned feet. It's a minor balance quirk rather than a fault, and the wider foot design keeps it standing through most poses without extra support.

Builder tip: if you're posing it fully upright with the head visor extended, angle the feet slightly wider than feels natural. It counteracts the top-heaviness and holds the pose better.

Build notes

Nippers recommended for clean part removal from the runners. No cement, no paint needed. Build time is a comfortable single sitting. Recommended age 15 and over.

Assembly Guide

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.

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.

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

Is this a full model kit or just an accessory pack?

It's a complete kit. You get the full Acerby Type-D figure body, both armour sets, the head visor parts, and the weapons, everything you need to build the whole Mobile Worker.

Do I need glue or paint?

No. It's snap-fit, moulded in orange, white and matte grey, and the translucent blue parts on the visor and blade are cast clear straight from the runner.

How different is the Type-D from the earlier Acerby releases?

The Type-A through Type-C kits were mostly the same tooling in different colours. Type-D gets genuinely new parts: a new energy blade, new armour, and redesigned feet that hold a standing pose better than the earlier versions did.

Will it stand on its own in a dynamic pose?

Better than the earlier Acerby kits. The redesigned feet have deeper ball joints and a wider footprint, though it's still a little top-heavy because of the head design, so an Action Base 6 (sold separately) helps for more ambitious poses.

Is this a good first kit if I haven't built 30MM before?

Yes. It's snap-fit with a similar part count and complexity to a standard High Grade Gundam kit, so if you've built an HG before you'll be comfortable here. Nippers to remove parts cleanly from the runners are the only extra tool worth having.
