Gundam - HGUC - 047 - RX-78NT-1 Gundam "Alex" 1/144

The HGUC RX-78NT-1 Gundam “Alex” 1/144 (No. 047) is a model kit from Bandai's High Grade Universal Century line, based on the mobile suit developed specifically for Newtypes in Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket. This Gundam represents an experimental evolution of the RX-78, designed to respond to pilots with Newtype capabilities.

The "Alex" is particularly known for its more modern design within the early Universal Century and for its optional Chobham Armor system, which reinforces its role as an advanced Federation test unit.
