Diorama of Zeta Gundam’s Argama Catapult Deck gets new and improved 40th anniversary re-release
MegaHouse has opened pre-orders for a new diorama display base from its “Realistic Model Series.”
The new “Realistic Model Series Mobile Suit Z Gundam 1/144 HG Argama Catapult Deck (40th Anniversary Edition)” commemorates the 40th anniversary of the classic 1985 anime series, Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam.
The “Realistic Model Series” is a line of large-scale, pre-painted diorama kits designed to serve as a detailed hangar or launch bay for 1/144 scale High Grade Gunpla models.
This new edition recreates the iconic, open-air catapult deck of the A.E.U.G.’s flagship space cruiser, the Argama.
A key feature of the diorama is its modular construction, which allows it to be reconfigured into four different display lengths, from a compact 40-centimeter “Fortress Mode” to a massive, nearly 1-meter “Long Catapult Mode.”
The diorama includes a movable mobile suit launch pad that can slide out from the hangar gate.
The set also includes wall-mounting attachments and comes as a pre-painted, semi-assembled kit with optional water-slide decals for extra detail.
This special “40th Anniversary Edition” comes with a brand-new, exclusive bonus.
A set of seven newly sculpted, pre-painted miniature character figures is included with the deck for the first time.
The Argama Catapult Deck is priced at ¥19,800 (approx. $134 USD/£101 GBP) and is scheduled to be released in December 2025.
Pre-orders for the diorama are now open at most reputable hobby shops and online retailers.
