Gunhed - Unit 507 1/35
The GUNHED Unit 507 is a transformable armored mecha that belongs to the 1989 tokusatsu movie Gunhed. It was deployed by the allied powers in a robotic war against the autonomous AI Kyron-5. The model kit is a 1/35 scale rendition by Kotobukiya, designed to bring the iconic mecha to life with modern model kit techniques.
The GUNHED Unit 507 model kit by Kotobukiya is a visual spectacle, capturing the essence of the mecha's rugged and militaristic design. The kit stands at approximately 18cm tall and is meticulously detailed, offering a sense of scale and realism. The color scheme is primarily gray, reflecting the mecha's utilitarian purpose.
One of the standout features of this model is its ability to transform from standing mode to tank mode. This transformation adds a dynamic element to the kit, allowing for a variety of display options. The transformation process is facilitated by well-designed joints and locking mechanisms, ensuring stability in both forms through its five points of articulation, allowing for basic but effective posing. While it may not have the extensive articulation seen in some other kits, the points that are present are sturdy and hold poses well. This makes it ideal for both dynamic action poses and more static, museum-like displays. The kit comes with a decal sheet for added customization.
