Description

This special volume of HJ Mechanics shines a spotlight on the beloved 1989 OVA series—a story set against the backdrop of colonial Christmas, told not through the eyes of heroes, but through soldiers and the machines they piloted. Featuring the full roster of mobile suits that defined the series—from the RX-78NT-1 Gundam "Alex" to the fearsome MS-18E Kämpfer, the late-war Zaku II FZ, and the Cyclops Team's amphibious units—this issue brings together some of Japan's finest builders to take each kit to the next level through meticulous modification, dynamic dioramas, and deep technical commentary.
