ZEN of Collectible CD-AS-03DX Guardian – Sentinels of Rosefinch 1/100 (20% reservation deposit)

Discover the spectacular CD-AS-03DX Guardian – Sentinels of Rosefinch, a 1/100 scale model kit developed by ZEN of Collectible / CangDao Model. This original creation combines traditional Chinese warrior aesthetics with a particularly detailed futuristic mecha design, dominated by imposing red armor and numerous gold elements.

The Guardian of Rosefinch stands out with its slender silhouette, scarlet armor, and particularly elaborate dorsal equipment. Inspired by the imagery of the Rosefinch / Vermilion Bird, one of the symbolic creatures of Chinese mythology, this unit combines traditional references with modern mechanical design.

This is a true assembly kit and not an already finished articulated figure. The box contains 29 runners for the main model as well as an articulated metal alloy frame. This internal structure adds weight and stability to the model while allowing for a significant range of motion once assembled.

The golden elements feature a factory-painted finish, immediately providing a stark contrast with the red armor without the need to apply this finish yourself. Two sheets of water decals are also included to complete the details and markings of the mecha.

Once assembled, the Guardian reaches approximately 21 cm in height. Its equipment notably includes an imposing golden polearm as well as a high-mobility dorsal combat unit, giving the model a particularly spectacular silhouette both on display and in action poses.

Technical specifications

The CD-AS-03DX Guardian is based on a true articulated metal inner frame. The various ABS and POM armor pieces gradually adorn this structure during assembly, a design similar to that of high-end mecha model kits.

The use of an alloy frame strengthens the joints and provides better overall stability despite the bulky dorsal equipment. Once completed, the model boasts a wide range of motion, allowing for various combat poses.

Since the golden parts are already painted, it is not necessary to apply this finish to achieve the characteristic look presented by the manufacturer. The two sheets of water decals can then be used to add more details to the armor.

Zone Gunpla Tips

The Guardian – Sentinels of Rosefinch is more akin to a premium mecha model kit than a traditional figure. Its metal frame provides a sense of weight and a different construction from all-plastic kits, while retaining the enjoyment of gradually assembling the armor around the internal structure.

Since the golden parts are already painted, it is advisable to handle them carefully during assembly to preserve their finish. The numerous panel lines and mechanical surfaces can also be enhanced with appropriate panel lining, taking care to check the compatibility of the product used with the different ABS and POM plastics.
