PG 1/60 Expansion Unit: Armed Armor VN/BS for Banshee

This expansion pack is made for the PG 1/60 Unicorn Gundam 02 Banshee Gunpla. Set in the Universal Century, the Banshee serves as a heavily armed second prototype in the Unicorn series, optimized for assault and close-support operations in UC 0096. The expansion mirrors that narrative by offering external armor sections, weapon pod housings, and attachment interfaces to mate with a Perfect Grade internal frame.

Build level and handy tools

Recommended experience: advanced. The kit increases the count of parts and assembly complexity versus a standard PG model. Typical modelling tools—plastic nippers, a hobby knife, sanding sticks, and tweezers—are suitable for most steps of the build and trimming tasks.

Tips for surface work and paint

Surface preparation is discretionary but common for visible joins and multi-piece panels; light sanding and filler can improve seams. Apply masking where colours meet on added armor; primer and topcoat choices depend on the finish you want for display.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/60
  • Grade: PG
  • Build Level: advanced

The expansion supplies a selection of external armor pieces and weapon attachment elements engineered to work with the PG 1/60 Banshee frame, allowing more intricate silhouettes and modular display setups.

No major structural modifications are expected; the expansion is produced to mate with the PG 1/60 Banshee mounting points. Minor trimming or precise test-fitting may be needed depending on build variations.
The components come in colored plastic but are not fully finished; to achieve accurate colour matching and a display-quality finish, many builders paint parts, add panel lines, and apply topcoat.
The package contains armored panels, weapon pod housings, and the necessary interfaces for mounting to the PG frame. Detailed part lists and assembly diagrams are provided in the instructions.
Special adhesives are not typically required; normal model-building tools such as nippers, knife, sanding sticks, and tweezers handle most fitting and cleanup tasks prior to assembly.
