Take model kit engineering to the next level with the IN ERA+ RMD TR-2243EX Azure Falcon, an exceptionally detailed 1/100 scale transformable mecha from the RMD – Real Minutia Designs series.
The Azure Falcon combines a sleek, aggressive humanoid design with an impressively engineered fully integrated transformation system, allowing the completed model to convert from its approximately 22 cm tall humanoid form into an imposing fighter configuration measuring around 43 cm in length.
Unlike simpler transformable kits that rely heavily on exchanging parts, the Azure Falcon incorporates its transformation directly into the model. Hidden locking points, rotating joints, retractable mechanical linkages and interconnected moving sections work together to transform the machine while maintaining a convincing appearance in both configurations.
Underneath the highly detailed exterior lies a sophisticated structure designed to handle the demands of a fully transformable model.
The kit combines ABS, POM and metal alloy components, with POM used in key moving areas and metal reinforcement incorporated into important structural sections. This provides additional rigidity and stability while giving the finished model a more substantial premium feel.
The legs feature interconnected mechanical elements that move together during articulation, while multiple locking mechanisms help secure the structure during transformation.
The Azure Falcon offers two completely different display configurations.
In Humanoid Mode, the model stands approximately 22 cm tall and features an elegant but aggressive silhouette filled with panel lines, layered armour and exposed mechanical details.
Transform the model into Fighter Mode and the Azure Falcon becomes an approximately 43 cm long spacecraft with a streamlined profile. Even the head is concealed within the transformed structure to create a much more convincing aircraft silhouette.
A dedicated display base is included, allowing the Azure Falcon to be presented dynamically in either configuration.
The mechanical detailing continues all the way into the cockpit.
The cockpit canopy can be opened to reveal a detailed interior with controls and instrumentation. A miniature approximately 15 mm pilot figure, assembled from six individual parts, is also included.
This attention to small-scale mechanical detail perfectly reflects the philosophy behind the Real Minutia Designs series.
The Azure Falcon features individually articulated fingers, allowing the hands to achieve much more natural poses than conventional fixed-option hands.
An internal weapon-holding mechanism helps secure equipment in the hands while maintaining the detailed appearance of the articulated fingers.
Throughout the model, IN ERA+ has incorporated numerous functional mechanical elements, including:
As part of the premium RMD – Real Minutia Designs line, the Azure Falcon places a strong emphasis on mechanical detail.
Layered armour panels, exposed internal structures, sharply defined panel lines and intricate mechanical surfaces give the finished model an impressive level of visual complexity straight from the box.
A set of high-precision waterslide decals is included for builders who want to further enhance the finished appearance.
