Imai – B-1339 – Orguss Flier (Super Dimension Century Orguss)

Description:

The Imai 1/72 Orguss Flier kit, released around 1983–84 under catalog number B‑1339‑300 (also identified as D14 and “Best Variation Type No. 3”), captures the sleek airborne form of the Flier robot battle machine as seen in the Super Dimension Century Orguss anime. The box artwork, presented in vintage Imai style, emphasizes its chunky yet dynamic aircraft form with swept wings and rounded fuselage details, including a small image of the robot mode in one corner.

Build-wise, the kit stays true to Imai’s ethos: glue is required, paints are necessary as none are included, and assembly benefits from test-fitting and seam cleanup, particularly along the wing roots and fuselage halves. Panel lines are well-defined without being overdone, giving an impression faithful to the anime model while keeping construction approachable. Articulation is basic and functional—suitable for tabletop display rather than dynamic poses—yet it captures the charm of its source design.
