HG 1/144 Messer Type-F01 - Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway
The Heavy-Weight Vanguard of the Mafty Rebellion
Dominate the battlefield with the sheer mechanical presence of the "Man Machine." At Dragoon Gaming, we are proud to offer the HG 1/144 Messer Type-F01, the primary mobile suit used by the anti-Federation organization Mafty in the Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway trilogy. This kit is a masterpiece of modern High Grade design, capturing the menacing, Zeon-inspired bulk and high-output performance of the Me02R series.
Size and Sophistication in 1/144 Scale
Don't let the "High Grade" label fool you—the Messer is one of the largest and most substantial kits in the 1/144 line, towering over standard mobile suits. Despite its massive armor and heavy frame, the HG Messer Type-F01 features an ingenious internal joint structure. With specialized pull-out shoulder joints and a deep-bending waist, this kit can achieve incredibly dynamic poses that defy its heavy-weight appearance.
Why the HG Messer Type-F01 is a Must-Have:
-
Massive Proportions: Features the iconic "bulky" silhouette with multi-layered armor plates and intricate sub-thruster detailing on the legs and back.
-
Movable Mono-Eye: The head unit features a manual adjustment gimmick, allowing you to change the mono-eye's gaze for high-intensity battle displays.
-
Heavy Armament: Fully equipped with its signature long-barrel beam rifle, two beam sabers (stored in the side armor), and the massive, uniquely shaped Messer shield.
-
Engineered for Movement: The side armor features a sliding mechanism to allow for wider leg movement, ensuring the bulk doesn't interfere with your favorite action poses.
-
Color-Coded Molding: Recreates the distinctive purple, brown, and orange color palette of the Mafty forces straight out of the box.
How to build:
The HG Messer is a highly satisfying build that feels sturdy and robust. At Dragoon Gaming, we recommend using a Gundam Marker GM-01 (Black) to define the vast panel lines across the chest and leg armor. For the mono-eye and sensors, use the GMS-110 Fine Edge Set (Metallic Pink) to give this guerrilla machine a piercing, "Red Comet" inspired glow. Because the Messer is a frontline combatant, it is also the perfect candidate for dry-brushing and weathering to simulate atmospheric re-entry and urban combat.
