This is the HG V-33 Stork Carrier released as part of the Kyoukai Senki series. Like the previously released ASC (Armored Special Carrier), it's a flying craft designed to transport the North American Alliance's Brady Hound. The large parts make for a satisfying, straightforward build.

Overall it has that futuristic military kit feel — olive drab coloring loaded up with various weapons and movable parts. Swappable landing gear and joint parts are included, and with the clear display stand and dedicated joint parts, you can also display it in mid-air. HG Brady HoundWhen combining with it in parked mode, you swap out the joint parts that connect at the shoulders and use the large joint part for the stand to mount it. The connection is solid enough that you don't need to worry about it holding, though you do need to get the angle just right when fitting the joint part into the shoulder groove — it can be a bit finicky. On top of that, bonus extra equipment for the HG Mailes Chogun is also included.

Like the ASC before it, this is a cleanly executed futuristic transport aircraft, and if you're building the HG Brady Hound series, this seems like a kit you'll definitely have a good time with. :-)
