What distinguishes the F90N Gundam F90 N-Type is its compatibility with the various mission packs created for the Gundam F90 series. The N-Type's design cleverly uses only the backpack hardpoint for the Hull Fighter attachment, leaving the arm and leg hardpoints available. This design choice assures that the F90 N-Type can be equipped with practically any existing mission pack, considerably increasing operational versatility without requiring extensive changes.
Despite possible weight and balance concerns, the Gundam F90 N-Type's complex operating system compensates effectively, ensuring that control and maneuverability are not impaired. This technological marvel exemplifies the Gundam series' dedication to pushing the limits of mobile suit capability and adaptability.
While the Gundam community eagerly awaits for the release of the F90N Gundam F90 Next Type model kit, pre-order availability are still yet to be determined. However, it has been revealed that the kit will feature newly molded elements designed exclusively for the N-Type Mission Pack, which will supplement the base MG 1/100 Gundam F90 model. More information about the kit will become available whenever Premium Bandai starts pre-orders for it.
A closer look at the N (Next) type mission pack kit
At the center of this release is the N type's signature, the Hull Fighter, a mission pack and fighter aircraft that represents the concept of "NEXT". This freshly created model has an outstanding level of detail and usefulness.
Transformable Hull Fighter: This component doubles as a mission pack and a fighter aircraft, capable of merging seamlessly with the Gundam F90. When in its aircraft form, it can be displayed in mid-flight on a stand, complete with an openable and closable canopy for added realism.
Beam Rifle and Hilt Funnel Arsenal: The N type's beam rifle is uniquely compatible with six hilt funnels, which can be detached and transformed into funnel mode or beam saber mode, thanks to interchangeable parts.
Innovative Shield Design: Originating from the Hull Fighter's nose, the shield not only attaches to the arm but can also mount hilt funnels on its side, allowing for dynamic shooting poses when combined with the beam rifle.
The Hull Fighter's design combines hard points seen in the manga "Mobile Suit Gundam F90FF". This design choice provides a plethora of customization choices, including the attachment of various mission packs such as the NB and NG types, as well as the ability to swap the primary wing portion with a V-type Vesbar unit (sold separately).
As an added bonus, the set contains the Gundam F90 Unit 2 in its original rollout color scheme. This model comes with typical weapons, such as a beam rifle, beam saber, and shield, giving enthusiasts a complete and accurate building experience.
To further enhance the model's authenticity and detail, the set comes with water transfer decals featuring original markings. These decals add an extra layer of depth and customization, allowing builders to truly make their model stand out.
