HG 1/144 Byarlant Custom

The RX-160S Byarlant Custom is a technology testbed created by upgrading the surviving units of the RX-160 Byarlant, which was developed by the Titans during the Gryps War. Its thrusters have been enhanced, and a pair of back-mounted propellant tank/thruster units added, to extend the time for which it can fly independently in the atmosphere. Its main weapons were also improved, with other changes to the suit including arm parts taken from the RX-110 Gabthley, a new feet design derived from the NRX-055 Baund Doc and the replacement of the mono-eye sensor with an EFF standard visor-type sensor. The Federation Forces HQ specifically requested the change in sensor before they would approve the project.

The kit is quite similar to the plain HG Byarlant, swapping out the small claw manipulator arms for larger claws with articulated mega-particle cannons, as well as the articular propellant/thruster tanks on the back of the model.
