Since these are all prototype photos, some detailing and decal options may change in the final.
Information from Wave (with some additional from me):
Tatsunoko Production's masterpiece,
Science Ninja Team Gatchaman, shines brightly in the history of Japanese animation. The main ship of the Science Ninja Team will be done as a plastic model. Although the kit is non-scale, its length will be 22cm (approximately 8.66 inches) and full of details.
It can be displayed in either flying or landing configurations, with landing gear deployed (there is no mention of an included display base for flying mode). The Ninja Team's individual vehicles, G-1 through G-4 will be included, with the ability to show them on the God Phoenix in their joining up sequences. Additional details will include being able to display the God Phoenix in Hovercraft mode (its wings appear to cant downward), with its bottom thrust vents open or closed, and also with its Bird Missiles and Super Bird Missile hatches opened or closed.
