Build the space-combat evolution of the Gundam GP01 with the Bandai MG 1/100 RX-78GP01-Fb Gundam GP01-Fb Full Burnern from Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory.

The Gundam GP01-Fb Full Burnern MG 1/100 recreates the upgraded form of Kou Uraki’s RX-78GP01 Zephyranthes, extensively modified for high-performance operation in space. With its distinctive Universal Boost Pods, additional thrusters, upgraded backpack and classic Federation Gundam styling, the GP01-Fb is one of the most recognisable Mobile Suits from the Gundam Development Project.

For collectors of Universal Century Gunpla, Gundam 0083 model kits and classic Master Grade Gundams, the GP01-Fb remains an important part of Bandai’s MG line-up.

RX-78GP01-Fb Gundam GP01 Full Burnern

The RX-78GP01-Fb Gundam GP01 Full Burnern, often shortened to GP01-Fb, is the space-optimised development of the RX-78GP01 Gundam Zephyranthes.

After the GP01 was heavily damaged, the Mobile Suit was rebuilt and upgraded at Anaheim Electronics’ Von Braun facilities, transforming it from a machine primarily configured for terrestrial combat into an exceptionally mobile space-use Gundam.

The upgrade resulted in the distinctive GP01-Fb configuration seen throughout the later stages of Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory.

Built for High-Speed Space Combat

The most significant change between the standard GP01 Zephyranthes and the GP01-Fb Full Burnern is the extensive increase in propulsion and manoeuvring capability.

Additional thrusters are positioned throughout the Mobile Suit, giving the Full Burnern the high acceleration and manoeuvrability required for space combat.

This additional equipment also changes the Gundam’s appearance considerably.

The relatively clean silhouette of the original GP01 becomes a much more mechanical, thruster-heavy design that immediately communicates the Full Burnern’s purpose.

Universal Boost Pods

Perhaps the most recognisable components of the Gundam GP01-Fb are the large Universal Boost Pods positioned behind its shoulders.

These prominent thruster units dominate the rear silhouette of the Mobile Suit and are a defining feature of the Full Burnern design.

The pods are articulated, allowing their position to be adjusted and adding another mechanical element to the completed Master Grade model.

Together with the numerous additional verniers across the body, they give the GP01-Fb an unmistakably space-focused appearance.

Detailed Master Grade Construction

The MG 1/100 Gundam GP01-Fb offers the more involved construction associated with Bandai’s Master Grade range.

At 1/100 scale, the model provides plenty of room for mechanical detailing throughout the body, backpack, thrusters and weapons.

Individual armour components create separation across the exterior, while internal mechanical elements add depth to the finished model.

It’s a particularly good choice for builders who enjoy the engineering and mechanical appearance of earlier Universal Century Gundams.

Core Fighter II Full Burnern

One of the most interesting features of the GP01-Fb is its Core Fighter II-Fb.

The Full Burnern’s Core Fighter is extensively modified from the version used by the original GP01, incorporating the additional equipment required for space operations.

The Master Grade kit recreates the Core Fighter system, giving builders another layer of mechanical detail beyond the completed Mobile Suit.

It’s one of those classic Gundam features that you spend time carefully building before hiding most of it inside the Gundam.

As tradition demands.

Beam Rifle

The GP01-Fb’s Beam Rifle is included as its primary handheld ranged weapon.

The weapon retains the recognisable Federation styling associated with the Gundam Development Project while complementing the more technical appearance of the Full Burnern.

Combined with the MG’s articulation, the Beam Rifle can be used for a variety of shooting poses and works particularly well with the large Universal Boost Pods positioned behind the Gundam.

Beam Sabers

For close combat, the Gundam GP01-Fb is equipped with Beam Sabers.

These provide the model with the classic Gundam melee option and allow the Full Burnern to be displayed in more dynamic close-combat poses.

They also provide the ideal equipment for recreating the GP01-Fb’s confrontations with Anavel Gato’s RX-78GP02A Gundam Physalis.

Federation Shield

The GP01-Fb also carries its distinctive Shield, maintaining a visual connection with the original Zephyranthes.

The shield can be combined with the Beam Rifle or Beam Saber for a more traditional Gundam combat configuration and helps balance the heavily equipped appearance created by the Full Burnern backpack.

Kou Uraki’s Upgraded Gundam

The RX-78GP01-Fb Full Burnern is piloted by Kou Uraki in Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory.

Following the destruction and subsequent reconstruction of the original GP01, Kou returns to combat in the upgraded Full Burnern configuration.

The machine becomes central to one of the most memorable rivalries of the OVA as Kou and the GP01-Fb face Anavel Gato and the stolen GP02A Physalis.

For Gundam 0083 collectors, those two Mobile Suits belong together on a shelf.

Preferably with enough distance between them that nothing explodes.

A Classic Universal Century Gundam Design

The GP01-Fb occupies an interesting place in Gundam design history.

Its basic appearance clearly draws from the original RX-78-2 Gundam, but the additional thrusters, more technical armour and Gundam Development Project styling point towards the increasingly sophisticated Mobile Suits that follow later in the Universal Century.

That makes the Full Burnern an excellent addition to a chronological UC collection, particularly alongside the RX-78-2, Gundam GP02A, Gundam GP03S, Gundam Mk-II and other Federation Gundams.

Excellent for Painting & Detailing

The MG Gundam GP01-Fb is also an excellent candidate for additional modelling work.

Its numerous panel lines, thrusters and mechanical components provide plenty of opportunities for detailing.

Add metallic finishes to the verniers.

Panel line the white armour.

Weather the feet and shield.

Highlight the backpack and Universal Boost Pods.

Or create a cleaner prototype appearance appropriate to a machine from the Gundam Development Project.

The traditional white, blue, red and yellow colour scheme provides an excellent base for either approach.
