Haha, finally I got a kit in this late 2013 ! After reading some comic books about the side stories of Gundam 00 I became curious of this unit. The 1/100 scale doesn't offer much armaments as it is few months older than the HG version, Astraea is also the final few kits released on the HG list in Gundam 00.
HG Astraea comes with two options, type-F and type-F2 to be assembled. You might find alot of Exia runners available but unused in it's box. I finished it off as type-F because F2 is like 80% resembling Exia but chose the un-visor'ed face like the one that appeared in GUNDAM EXA comic book. Also I replaced the red face plate with a white one from a spare Exia I have so it's like what it should look in the comic !
This HG Astraea type-F includes tons of stuff which they called full weapon or something. Standard weapons is the prototype-GN sword, a GN rifle, pair of beam sabers, a GN launcher and a GN shield.
, a stolen NGN Bazooka (ESF), and a GN hammer which is it's insane meister's favorite weapon of choice.
Pew pew pew ! The GN launcher is connected to the place where its chest antenna (remove it) as it is supposed to feed energy from the GN drive.
Most of it's armament can swap places with one another, being hand-held of mounted, depending on your imagination.
Putting aside the pros and cons, this little red devil is just too awsome for me to ignore it. I spent hours to assemble while doing touch-ups, really enjoyable though !
