From Gundam Seed Desitiny is the iconic Strike Freedom Gundam of Kira Yamato which was recently released as a 1/144 Real Grade model kit by Bandai. The Strike Freedom Gundam succeeded the Freedom Gundam that was defeated in a duel against Shinn Asuka. Hands down one of the most beautiful Gundam designs ever released in my book. Those Dragoons just make it soooo perfect.
The 1/144 RG Strike Freedom Gundam is selling for $29.95 at Amazon, 2240 yen at Amiami, 2400 yen at HobbyLink Japan
Construction Manual & Color Guide for the 1/144 Real Grade Strike Freedom Gundam was translated to English from the Japanese manual posted at Dalong's Gunpla & Model Kit Review site. For the meaning of the symbols found in the model kit's manual, kindly refer to this older post.
