The statue comprises 288 parts and took a total of nine months to construct and build altogether.

For now, we’re still unsure if the Freedom Gundam is capable of any animation or lighting effects so we can only wait for its official grand opening set on 28 May 2021.

This life-size Gundam is the first of its kind to be displayed outside Japan.
