Together with the non-scale Shiranui Isumi's Valkyries version.

This kit is the 1/144 Shiranui Isumi's Valkyries released as part of the Muv-Luv series. It's based on the 1/144 Shiranui
Assault Type / Storm Vanguardreleased in 2013, with additional weapons added. The main body and basic weapons are nearly identical in both molded color and parts, with only the shoulder parts changed to accommodate the missile container.

So all the structural characteristics are the same as the 1/144 Shiranui Assault Type / Storm Vanguard — for this review, you really just need to check out the added weapons. The new weapons include 2 assault cannons, 2 support assault cannons, a missile container, and 1 assault cannon mount. Of these, the support assault cannons and missile container are making their first appearance in 1/144 scale, and the missile container's open gimmick is faithfully reproduced as well.

With all these newly sculpted additions, this is a meaningful Muv-Luv variation kit we haven't seen in a while. Compared to the large and heavy non-scale version, even with full weapons equipped there's a reassuring stability that comes with the smaller size. Either way, if you've been waiting for a compact full-option Shiranui in 1/144, this is definitely going to be a very welcome kit. :-)
