HG 1/144 Dom/Rick Dom
HG 1/144 Dom/Rick Dom
BANDAI
A heavy mobile suit developed by Zimmad, the MS-09 Dom was a ground combat machine equipped with hovercraft technology. It was fitted with thermonuclear jets and rockets under its feet, allowing it to quickly move across the ground, greatly improving its mobility compared to previous ground-use mobile suits. Thanks to sensors located in front of its feet, it was able to traverse uneven terrain. While in cruising mode, it could hover across the ground using only its thermonuclear jets. The Dom can hover at a maximum speed of 381 km/hr for up to 5 hours. A space variant known as the Rick Dom was developed later on, removing all of the regular Dom's ground-oriented propulsion systems in favor of more space-oriented ones.
This relatively older HG kit is one of those models that have stood the test of time, offering a surprising amount of detail, from the appreciated amount of color-separation, to the fully-articulated mono-eye. The kit comes with a heat saber, parts for both default and Rick (space) specifications, a giant bazooka, and a beam bazooka.
