Together with SD Lightning Gundam.
Being a kit that combines two units, it's noticeably taller than other SD kits.

This kit is the SD Ryushou Hishou, released as part of the SD Sengokuden Tenka Touitsu-hen series. As you can tell at a glance, it's an SD kit based on the Bawoo concept — just like the Bawoo, the upper and lower bodies separate and combine. What makes it unique, though, is that instead of splitting into aircraft, each half transforms into its own individual MS.

Through a simple process, the upper body separates into Ryushou and the lower body into Hishou. When combined as Ryushou Hishou, the kit stands noticeably taller than other SD kits. The legs are on the longer side for an SD, so they do tend to spread a bit more front to back — but don't expect anything spectacular in terms of articulation. On top of that, you can combine Ryushou's weapon, the Ryuenhou, with Hishou's weapon, the Hisougatana, to form the Hiryuuhou.

All in all, it's a kit with a lot of personality. Even though it's an older release, it's still a charming kit that holds up well in terms of looks and playability — definitely worth recommending even today. :-)
