Together with Takemikaduchi kits in various colors.

This kit is the 1/144 Takemikaduchi Type-00A — the white-bodied version equipped with a drop tank backpack. The base unit is 100% identical to the existing Takemikaduchi, with only the body color changed to white, making it a color variant kit. So the real highlight here is the newly added drop tank backpack.

The drop tank features removable chemical injection drills on both sides — think of them as a kind of door-opening (?) tool used for the final operation in the series. In that sense, this kit could be seen as the definitive final version of the existing Takemikaduchi.

Since the main body is the same as before, there's nothing new to look at there — but it's still just as easy to handle, thanks to the much more straightforward assembly compared to the non-scale version and solid joint strength. Units loaded up with this much gear really do feel more stable when they come out in a smaller scale.

Either way, this kit is significant for being the final operation configuration in plastic form, and for Muv-Luv fans it's a pretty meaningful color variant :-)
