When my own copy of the Gundam Sentinel book arrived in the 90’s, I was overwhelmed with the mecha designs. Apart from the Ex-S system, I was mesmerised with the EWACs unit they put into Mobile Suits like the Nero. I did not realise the model (or was it a figure?) came out about a decade ago. And so, I decided to let it rest since it would be almost impossible and quite expensive to look for it.
Jesta EWACs
Suddenly, when I was browsing some Chinese B2C platforms, a 3D printed EWACs system was available as an add-on accessory for a 1/144 Jesta. As far as I know, there was no other ‘Official’ Gundam EWACs apart from the Nero Mobile suit. The appearance for the Jesta was a little surprising to me as I am always out of touch with the Gundam World. Still, it looked kinda nice and as a 3D print, it is a little costly though. But wait a minute…
So, having an EWACs system is a great idea but in my mind, the Jesta is more suitable for assault and stuff. Still, this concept does not stop me from envisaging another Gundam, say, an RX-93 fitted with one too. But that is another story since I am interested in using its head for something else and RG was too expensive for me to multilate it. Ha ha ha.
