LED GN Drives

So back when I built the Master Grade Exia, I had an option to add an LED unit that would illuminate to recreate the particle dispersal lighting.

Well they didn't include any in the box because guess what you have to get them separately...........

For those of you who do not know what a GN Drive is, they are the main power source of a Gundam, there are only 4 original drives that went into 4 Gundams in the Gundam 00 series and they illuminate Green lighting.

The ones that illuminate Red may look cooler but are knockoffs created in the series to counter the Gundams through stolen technology. Story goes on...........

Green is Good - Red is bad!

These LEDs are compatible with all 1/100 scale Gundams from the show, Gundam 00. Namely the 00 Quanta, 00 Gundam, GN-X.

I happened to come across an interesting sale and picked up a box of GN drives in Green that I will be using for future builds and another box of GN drives in Red.

This is what the box looks like

This is what the LED looks like

This is the component which houses the LED, THIS is a GN Drive!

Simply remove the casing and insert the LED, the LED can be shut off by twisting the GN Drive clockwise. I wanted to use the Red one with Exia, go figure........

And this is what the drive looks like inserted and illuminated
