HG 1/144 MSN-04II Nightingale, Bandai

HGUC 1/144 MSN-04II Nightingale from Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack - Beltorchika's Children is now available as assembly plastic model Gunpla High Grade Universal Century Bandai.

MSN-04II Nightingale

MSN-04II Nightingale is an alternate interpretation of the MSN-04 Sazabi featured in Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack - Beltorchika's Children. The unit is piloted by Char Aznable.

Although it is a mobile suit, the Nightingale's specifications are comparable to that of a Newtype-use mobile armor. Aside from being very large, this psycoframe equipped MS also features many weapons, including 10 funnels, a mega beam rifle, a pair of vulcan cannons, a beam cannon, two beam sabers, and a shield which carries a beam tomahawk and several micro missiles. 

The Nightingale also has a pair of hidden arms mounted behind the front skirt armor, a pair of back-mounted vernier binders to ensure the large suit's high mobility, and five propellant tanks (three on the backpack and two underneath the rear skirt armor) to fuel its large number of thrusters. This monstrous masterpiece of Mobile Suit technology represented the pinnacle of Char's personal combat style, and was a perfect match for the also extremely powerful RX-93-ν2 Hi-ν Gundam.
