Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn Unicorn Gundam 02 Banshee PG 1/60 Armed Armor VN/BS Expansion Unit Bandai 5072078  [B-5072078]

Armed Armor VN/BS Expansion for the PG 1/60 Banshee

This expansion set is a Gunpla accessory for the PG 1/60 Unicorn Gundam 02 Banshee. It derives from the Universal Century setting, where the Banshee is the second Unicorn prototype and is configured for heavy close-support and assault roles in the UC 0096 timeframe. The kit reproduces that role by providing extra external armor, weapon pod housings, and attachment points designed to interface with a Perfect Grade internal frame and its subsystem layout.

Assembly difficulty and recommended tools

Skill level: advanced. Adding the expansion increases part count and assembly steps relative to a base PG kit. Standard hobby tools such as plastic nippers, a sharp hobby knife, sanding sticks, and tweezers are suitable for trimming, test-fitting, and cleanup.

Preparing surfaces and finishing advice

Surface prep is optional but often used to address visible seams and multi-part panels; light sanding and seam filling help achieve consistent joins. Use masking where separate colours meet on added armor; primers and clear coats are optional depending on the builder's finish goals.

This expansion provides external armor components and weapon attachment elements engineered to integrate with the PG 1/60 Banshee frame, increasing visual complexity and modular display options.
