Released in 2005 and 2008 by Kotobukiya was the 1/72 Mirage C01-GAEA from the Armored Core video game. If I'm not mistaken, this is the first ever Armored Core kit released by Kotobukiya for their 1/72 line. The Mirage C01-GAEA stands approximately 16cm tall and is packed with an impressive set of weapons.
The 1/72 Mirage C01-GAEA Armored Core is selling for $ at Amazon, 2290 yen at Amiami, 2560 yen at HobbyLink Japan, 2720 yen at Hobby Search

Color Guide & Manual was translated to English from the Japanese manual posted at Dalong's Gunpla & Model Kit Review site. Didn't bother translating the rest of the manual because there wasn't really that much Japanese characters found in there. For the meaning of the symbols found in the Kotobukiya kit's manual, kindly refer to this older post.
