Bandai has revealed a new Clear Color Gunpla based on the Gundam Aerial, giving the central Mobile Suit from Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury a transparent redesign that highlights its detailed internal construction.

Part of the latest wave of Gundam Base exclusive Gunpla kits for July 2026, the Gundam Base Limited FULL MECHANICS 1/100 Gundam Aerial [Clear Color] features newly molded clear blue and clear white armor that showcases the mechanical detail beneath its exterior.

Gundam Aerial is the main Mobile Suit associated with protagonist Suletta Mercury in Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury, where its distinctive silhouette, advanced Gundam technology and close connection to the story made it one of the franchise’s most recognizable modern lead machines.

Metallic molded parts have been used throughout the frame and beam rifle, creating a stronger contrast beneath the transparent armor while giving the completed model a more premium visual finish.

The kit also retains the original FULL MECHANICS release’s advanced engineering, including the synchronized sliding leg mechanism that links the movement of the knees and thighs during kneeling poses.

The Gundam Aerial [Clear Color] is joined by two additional Gundam Base exclusive Clear Color releases arriving across July.

One of those additions is the HG 1/144 Z’Gok (SEED FREEDOM Ver.) [Clear Color], which gives one of Mobile Suit Gundam SEED FREEDOM’s most memorable Mobile Suits a transparent armor redesign.

In Mobile Suit Gundam SEED FREEDOM, this version of the Z’Gok stands out as a surprising amphibious unit that hides a much more advanced Gundam-type machine beneath its exterior, making it one of the movie’s most memorable mechanical reveals.

The Clear Color kit showcases the amphibious Mobile Suit with newly molded transparent armor that exposes the intricate internal frame modeled after the Infinite Justice Gundam Type II concealed inside.

Metallic molded components have been incorporated into the joints and backpack, creating an eye-catching contrast beneath the clear exterior while enhancing the premium appearance of the completed model.

Builders can recreate the battle-damaged head armor seen in the movie by swapping selected parts, while interchangeable claw components make it possible to display the Mobile Suit’s superheated claws during action poses.

The kit also remains compatible with selected parts from the separately sold HG 1/144 Infinite Justice Gundam Type II, offering experienced builders even more customization possibilities.

Completing the July lineup is the Gundam Base Limited MGSD Wing Gundam Zero EW [Clear Color], bringing the popular super-deformed version of the Endless Waltz Mobile Suit into the expanding Clear Color collection.

The XXXG-00W0 Wing Gundam Zero EW is the signature Mobile Suit associated with Mobile Suit Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz, where mechanical designer Hajime Katoki reimagined the machine with dramatic angelic Wing Binders that made it one of the franchise’s most recognizable alternate-universe Gundams.
