Suletta has been with the Gundam Aerial's onboard AI since childhood, considering it a family member.

This product includes four sheets of cardboard, with a total of 511 parts, making it the most intricate in the series to date! Featuring full-color printing, the assembled model measures approximately 155 mm. It precisely captures the intricate mechanical details of the Gundam Aerial and recreates its dynamic pose holding a shield, facing an enemy. A dedicated display base is included. Unlike the smooth curves of plastic models, the paper model offers a distinct style!
