[Ette] 1/100 MBF-P03R Gundam Astray Blue Frame 2nd Revise

 

The MBF-P03 Astray Blue Frame is one of the identical prototype combat mobile suits developed for the Astray project. It has the standard armament of the other prototype suits - two head-mounted "Igelstellung" 75mm multi-barrel CIWS, two back-mounted beam sabers for close combat, a Type 71 beam rifle, and a single physical shield. 

The Blue Frame's pilot is the mercenary leader Gai Murakumo, who prefers to outfit his mobile suit with solid projectile weapons that do not consume the suit's energy. He designed the Blue Frame into a Full Weapon Form - equipping the suit with multiple ZAFT bazookas and missile launchers. This allows him to fight multiple enemies easily without depleting much of the suit's power. The Blue Frame can also be equipped with the High-Speed Booster for high-speed flight and the Scale System for aquatic missions, which looks way better than the Red Frame's Salvage Unit.

If you are an Ette's papercraft collector here's another good model for you. It's an MG version of the MBF-P03R Gundam Astray Blue Frame 2nd Revise, the improved version of the Blue Frame Second L featured in Gundam SEED vs Astray graphic novel. The papercraft comes with 118 pages of the non-colored template that can be downloaded below.
