HGUC 1/144 - RX-104FF PENELOPE

Discover one of the most imposing Mobile Suits from Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway with the Gunpla HGUC 1/144 RX-104FF Penelope from Bandai Spirits. Piloted by Lane Aim, the Penelope immediately stands out with its immense silhouette, massive shoulders, and characteristic Minovsky flight system.

Supervised by Hajime Katoki, this kit reproduces the Penelope's particularly complex structure in the High Grade Universal Century format. Despite its 1/144 scale, the assembled model boasts impressive volume, thanks in particular to its large shoulder pads, rear stabilizer, and the imposing elements surrounding the legs.

The kit allows the Penelope to be separated into its two main components: the Odysseus Gundam and its imposing flight unit. This feature allows the different configurations of the Mobile Suit to be displayed independently and to better appreciate the machine's unique mechanical design.

The different colors of the armor are largely reproduced directly thanks to parts molded in different shades, while the canopy uses a transparent piece. The shoulder pads can also be displayed open or closed by changing their attachment position.

A dedicated display base is included to support this impressive model and present the Penelope in flight or to display the Odysseus Gundam and its flight unit separately.

The enormous shoulder pads can be placed in different positions to reproduce their open or closed configuration. The characteristic shapes of the rear stabilizer and the leg thrusters also contribute to the model's spectacular volume once assembled.

Gunpla Zone Tips

The HGUC Penelope is a particularly voluminous kit for a 1/144 scale model. Plan for more display space than with a classic HGUC, especially due to its shoulders, rear stabilizer, and flight unit.

Thanks to the separation between the Odysseus Gundam and its flight equipment, this Gunpla also offers numerous display possibilities. It naturally makes an excellent complement to the HGUC 1/144 Ξ Gundam to recreate the iconic confrontation from Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway.
