(PRE-ORDER: APR 2027) KADOKAWA Plastic Model Series Full Metal Panic! Arbalest Special Set 1/48 Scale Model Kit

PRE-ORDER: Expected to ship in April of 2027.

The ARX-7 Arbalest Special Set from Full Metal Panic! joins the KADOKAWA PLASTIC MODEL SERIES as an impressive 1/48 scale model kit packed with exclusive display upgrades and special accessories.

Piloted by Sousuke Sagara, the Arbalest stands approximately 7 inches (17.7 cm) tall when completed. Developed under the supervision of mechanical designer Kanetake Ebikawa, the kit combines detailed mechanical sculpting, extensive articulation, molded-color parts, and select pre-painted components for a highly finished look straight from assembly.

The model can recreate all three of the Arbalest's major tactical configurations: Normal Mode, ECS Activation Mode, and Lambda Driver Activation Mode. ECS Mode is reproduced using deployable armor and interchangeable components, including the 42 sensor lenses positioned throughout the body. Lambda Driver Mode can also be recreated with interchangeable heat-radiation fin parts.

The Special Set adds several premium accessories beyond the standard release, including wire-gun firing effect parts, a silver-plated Monomolecular Cutter blade, black-plated Lambda Driver heat-radiation fins, and a specially designed display base by Kanetake Ebikawa. The set is finished with a limited-edition special package featuring exclusive artwork. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

A wide assortment of weapons is also included, including the Boxer 57mm Scattershot, Monomolecular Cutter, Anti-Tank Daggers, and Hand Grenades. The Anti-Tank Daggers and grenades can be stored within the chest weapon bays, while alternate head parts recreate the head-mounted dagger configuration.
