Among the unique lineups in old-school Gunpla, there's a series called "Seikei Model" (Scenery Model) — basically diorama sets. This kit is the first entry in the 1/250 Seikei Model series, the Ramba Ral Attack set. It comes with a desert diorama stand along with three 1/250 MSes. It's a diorama meant to recreate the scene from episode 19 of the original series, where Ramba Ral's Gouf and a Zaku attack the Guntank.

First off, the desert diorama stand is pretty large and hefty, so it has a real presence to it. There's a big hole in the center left over from the plastic injection process, which you'll need to cover with a separate small part. And on the back, you can slot in a background illustration printed on thick cardboard, which gives it a surprisingly convincing diorama backdrop.

The Ramba Ral Attack set includes 1/250 models of the Guntank, Gouf, and Mass Production Zaku to recreate the scene from the show — these aren't poseable kits, but rather fixed-pose models already set in action stances to match the scene. The proportions for the action poses are pulled off pretty well, and while the detail is old-school, it has a certain charming (?) quality to it that's not bad at all.

On top of that, you also get one mascot model each of all three MSes at roughly 1/550 scale, for a total of three extras — so the overall contents of the kit feel quite generous. Either way, it's a quirky kit with that old-school, analog kind of charm, and it'd make for a fun item for longtime fans looking to relive some nostalgia or get some painting practice in. :-)
