Extensive accessories
This kit includes the following accessories:
- Dedicated Flight Unit

A variety of gimmicks
The biggest feature of the Aerial (modified type) is that the bit staves of the escutcheon (shield) can be separated to recreate various forms.
- Gambit Rifle: A form in which a bit stave is attached to a beam rifle
- Bit-on Form: A mobility-enhanced form with bit staves connected to the entire body of the unit.
These gimmicks allow you to recreate various scenes from the movie.
Important points to note
When assembling, please pay attention to the following points:
- Pay attention to the gate position of the shoulder armor (to avoid accidentally cutting it)
- The base part of the saber is thin, so be careful when inserting and removing it.
- Relatively many joints
