1/1200 Char's Musai Spacecraft - 1981 Vintage Original (Red Logo)
Command the Red Comet’s Flagship: A Masterpiece of Zeon History
Own the definitive cruiser of the Universal Century. At Dragoon Gaming, we are proud to offer a rare vintage original 1/1200 Char's Musai. Originally released in February 1981 as part of the "Best Mecha Collection" (#11), this kit is a legendary relic from the dawn of the Gunpla revolution. This is the authentic 1980s release, featuring the Red Bandai Logo and the original matte-finish box art prized by serious collectors and mecha historians.
Authentic 1980s "Old Kit" (Kyu-kitto) Experience
This is not a modern "Snap-Fit" toy. This 1981 original represents the golden era of traditional modeling, requiring plastic cement (glue) and paint to complete. Molded in a nostalgic Zeon green, the kit captures the aggressive, industrial silhouette of the Musai-class cruiser—the first warship designed specifically to deploy Mobile Suits into combat.
Why this 1981 Vintage Original is a Must-Have:
-
Authentic Red Logo Box: A verified first-era release with the original matte box texture.
-
Detachable Komusai Capsule: Features the signature "Komusai" landing capsule under the neck, which can be detached to recreate atmospheric entry missions.
-
Included Display Stand: Comes with the original vintage display base, allowing for dynamic "in-flight" posing on your shelf.
-
Unbuilt & Complete: All parts remain on their original 1981 runners in pristine, unbuilt condition—a true time capsule.
-
Investment Grade: A foundational piece of the Mobile Suit Gundam 0079 fleet, increasingly rare in the UK market.
How to build:
As a traditional 1980s kit, the Char's Musai requires hobby glue. At Dragoon Gaming, we recommend Tamiya Extra Thin Cement to maintain the integrity of the vintage plastic. For a screen-accurate finish, we suggest a light grey or dull green spray primer followed by hand-detailing the iconic red bridge windows and yellow engine thrusters.
