The Gundam Aerial is the signature mobile suit of Suletta Mercury from Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury. As the protagonist unit of the series, Aerial features a sleek silhouette, advanced GUND Format technology, and the distinctive Shell Unit system integrated throughout its body. The kit faithfully recreates its anime appearance with modern High Grade engineering, detailed color separation, and excellent articulation straight out of the box.
One of the model's standout features is its shield, which separates into eleven individual Bit Staves that can be attached across the mobile suit to recreate various combat configurations seen in the series. Clear effect components, interchangeable Shell Unit configurations, and flexible articulation allow builders to create dynamic action poses while showcasing Aerial's unique combat capabilities. The combination of innovative gimmicks and strong build quality has made this kit one of the most popular entries in the HG Witch from Mercury lineup.
