Mobile Suit Gundam fans who have been itching to reenact the Gundam launch sequence now have a key asset: the Realistic Model Series HGUC White Base Catapult Deck. Designed for compatibility with 1/144 scale figures, it can also be used to recreate maintenance scenes. The deck is normally 20 × 50 cm (8'' × 20''), but the full-length catapult deck lengthens it to a full meter (3'3'').
Optional parts let you replicate the Gundam's reclining position, arming position, and launching position.
The catapult deck can be ordered at Premium Bandai, but only until November 26. It costs 11,232 yen ($91.18) and will ship in late January. It will also be on sale at Volk showrooms, Yellow Submarines and the Gundam Front Tokyo hobby store at Odaiba's Diver City Tokyo Plaza.
