Qan [T] HG00 1/144

Front view

Qan[T], successor to 00/+Raiser. New twin-drive design (one GN drive in main body and another one in the shield binder. The overall design is quite simple, not-bulky and unique. Main feature: 7-transparent green GN-bit/blades, with 6 of them can be mounted on the shield or can be combined with the main sword to form Buster Rifle or Buster Sword. Good that the chest GN condenser design returns (which the 00 don't have). 

Rear view

GN shield with 6-GN bits attached. A GN drive is hidden underneath.

Even though Qan[T] have very short screen time in the anime movie (especially the lack of combat between mobile suits), the model kit is worth getting. Excellent gunpla quality & excellent articulation (as good as Exia and 00 Gundam). One thing to criticize: the GN drive section for both in body & shield is just dark-green stickers - no clear plastic parts :/


As usual, some touch-up using gundam markers. For panel lining, I'm using grey Gundam Marker for bright-colored parts (e.g. white, red), and black for dark-colored parts (e.g. grey, blue). I'm using different approach for the eyes/sensor part since the part came in transparent color: instead of painting on top of it, this time painted with green permanent marker on the inside (just like my usual practice for all GN-condensers for 00 series). Done this before with MG F91, but never before with 1/144 models. When properly angled/positioned with torchlight/LED, the eyes light up :). Considering to put LED lighting inside :)

Buster sword mode

Buster sword mode: 6-remote blades combine with the main GN-Sword. Not shown in the anime. The hand able to hold it despite of the weight.  

Buster rifle mode

Buster rifle mode - function as buster cannon/rifle & 'raiser-sword' mode. Shown in the anime.

Quantum system activated

Both GN drive connect in series configuration. Quite difficult to get 100% accurate connection.

Quantum system mode, some kind of higher-level communication - sort of hyper-broadband ;) . In the anime, some armors detached, GN condensers extend-out/jut-out, feet detached, and the chest GN condenser extend-out. Note that the 6-GN bits can be arranged to produce intense GN field for teleportation device. Read more at: http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/Quantum_Teleport_System

Conclusion: a very nice model kit. Highly recommended :)
