UCHG #07 Core Fighter

U.C. Hard Graph #07 turns the FF-X7 Core Fighter from Mobile Suit Gundam into a substantial 1/35 scale aircraft-style model rather than the small accessory normally included with larger Gundam kits. Released in February 2011, it combines military-scale surface treatment, extensive cockpit detail and ground-support accessories with several functional Core Fighter gimmicks.

The aircraft transforms into Core Block form, with the cockpit seat rotating as the nose section moves inward. The clear canopy can open in two ways, the fuselage missile bays open, ducts move individually and the vertical-tail control surfaces are articulated. Landing gear and wheel chocks support a parked display, while an included adapter allows the Core Fighter to be mounted on a separately sold Action Base 2. Four 1/35 figures and an extensive water-slide decal sheet make the kit especially suitable for painted diorama builds.

U.C. Hard Graph kits lean closer to traditional scale modelling than typical snap-fit Gunpla, with finer parts and extensive decal work intended for careful finishing.
