MG Gundam Astray Blue Frame D English Manual & Color Guide

From Gundam Seed Astray comes the Gundam Astray Blue Frame D of Gai Murakamo. This was released as a 1/100 Master Grade model kit by Bandai. Always loved the design of the Astray's, they remind me of an outdoor sneaker, rough and rugged and always ready for a hike. Then of course there is the homage to Japan's Samurai heritage as evidenced by the design of the head.

The 1/100 Master Grade Gundam Astray Blue Frame D is selling for $51.11 at Amazon





Construction Manual & Color Guide for the 1/100 Gundam Astray Blue Frame D was translated to English from the Japanese manual posted at Dalong's Gunpla & Model Kit Review site. For the meaning of the symbol found in the model kit's manual, kindly refer to this post.
