It's way bigger than you'd expect.

Measuring with a tape measure, the width comes out to about 41.5 cm!

When mounting an MS horizontally flat against the main body, you need to extend it out flat like shown above.
The mounting gimmick is pretty stiff and a bit fiddly to work with, but on the flip side, the hold is incredibly solid.

It's a sturdy stand on its own, but it feels a little shaky trying to support a kit that's over 40 cm wide.

This kit is the Cavalier Airfrid, released as Gunpla 15 in the 1/144 Option Parts lineup. It's a support mech from "Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Freedom," and with its wings spread out it boasts an impressive width of 41.5 cm. Based on its role in the film, HGCE Infinite Justice Gundam Type II / HGCE Z'Gok (SEED Freedom version) / EG Strike Rouge and others can be combined with it.

The various moving parts and weapon deployment gimmicks on the body are faithfully recreated from the source material. The MS mount on the lower interior can be slid to different positions and extended out, letting you place an MS at just about any angle or position. On top of that, five joint parts are included for connecting other kits — you can really feel the determination to make it work with any HG kit out there. The mounting gimmick is solid and well-designed, so it's easy to pull off all kinds of combos beyond just the units that appear alongside it in the film.

And beyond just combining with MS units, there's also a gimmick for mounting various weapons on the rear. The Forantes can be attached straight away, and with the addition of joint parts you can even connect Strikers and Silhouettes like the Aile pack. You can also open the top cover and add a stand post to use it as a mount when an MS is riding on top. This really does feel like a kit that's been thoughtfully designed for functionality and expandability.

As a bonus, HGCE Gelgoog Menace
(Luna Maria Hawk
custom)the Type-35 Kai Rail Gun included with that kit has been reused here,
along with joint parts for securing it. A clear Action Base 7 is also included, though it feels a bit shaky given the Cavalier Airfrid's massive size. It holds up well enough since it's such a sturdy stand, but it does make you wonder if they couldn't have thrown in a larger stand sized for MG-class kits instead.

All in all, this is a well-done accessory kit with thoughtful attention to compatibility, expandability, and holding strength. It's easy to build since there aren't many parts for its size, but the trade-off is that the detail feels a little plain and it comes across as a bit pricey for what you get. That said, if you're collecting the SEED Freedom lineup, this is a pretty tempting item — and if you're a fan of big, beefy kits like the Meteor or Zeus Silhouette, it's definitely one you won't want to miss. :-)
