Model VR-747 Temjin Type A8 1-100 - Hasegawa

A 1-100 Virtual-On Model

The VR-747 Temjin Type A8 White Rainbow Knights is aimed at robot model and Virtual-On universe enthusiasts.

This special reissue was designed to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the video game, celebrated on November 27, 2025.

At 1/100 scale, the model reaches a height of 169.5 mm.

Its dimensions make it easy to display the Virtuaroid on a shelf, in a showcase, or as part of a collection dedicated to video games and robot models.

The kit replicates the appearance of the VR-747 Temjin Type A8 in its White Rainbow Knights version.

A Reissue for Virtual-On's 30th Anniversary

The Virtual-On series features Virtuaroids, combat robots whose design is an important component of the game's visual identity.

This reissue of the VR-747 Temjin Type A8 is part of the celebration of the license's 30th anniversary and presents the model in a version intended for collectors and model makers.

The design of the Virtuaroids is associated with the work of Hajime Katoki, whose creations are recognizable by their mechanical lines and intricate silhouette.

The VR-747 Temjin Type A8 White Rainbow Knights follows this approach with specific elements that allow identifying this version.

A Detailed Model with Specific Elements

The model notably reproduces the antenna unit installed on the head as well as the Type A8 rear stabilizer.

These elements directly contribute to the appearance of the VR-747 Temjin Type A8 and help distinguish this version from other Virtuaroid variations.

The included Sleipnir Mk.6/w weapon

The kit comes with the "Sleipnir Mk.6/w," the weapon associated with the model.

This equipment complements the robot's silhouette and allows presenting the model in a configuration consistent with the VR-747 Temjin Type A8 White Rainbow Knights.

Integrating the weapon into the final presentation can be used to emphasize the mechanical aspect and combat robot character of the model.

It is also an important element for collectors wishing to reproduce the Virtuaroid's appearance as associated with Virtual-On.

Molded Parts in Four Colors

One of the particularities of this model is the molding of parts in four colors: ivory, light gray, dark gray, and transparent fluorescent green.

This combination allows distinguishing different parts of the model from the assembly stage and working on the finish according to the desired level of customization.

Painting and Finishing the Virtuaroid

The presence of parts already molded in several colors can facilitate the finishing work, especially for a model maker wishing to maintain a presentation close to the proposed version.

However, the elements can be painted to achieve a more personalized look or accentuate certain mechanical details.

For painting, it is advisable to carefully prepare the parts before application.

The model maker's usual tools, such as a cutting pliers, fine files, abrasives, and brushes suitable for small surfaces, allow working cleanly on the model.

A primer can be used if a complete paint job is planned.

What Level of Difficulty for this 1-100 Model?

The 1/100 scale offers an interesting compromise between the model's size and detail precision.

Assembly mainly requires meticulousness during the preparation and assembly of the Virtuaroid's different parts.

The presence of parts molded in four colors can also reduce the amount of paint needed depending on the desired level of finish.

A Project for Robot Model Enthusiasts

This limited edition is suitable for Virtual-On collectors as well as model makers accustomed to robot models.

It allows working on a subject from the video game while maintaining a reasonable size for display in a showcase.

A Virtual-On Model for Collection or Diorama

The VR-747 Temjin Type A8 White Rainbow Knights can be presented alone to highlight its silhouette and specific elements.

At 1/100 scale, it can also be integrated into a scene dedicated to Virtuaroids, with a futuristic backdrop or a presentation inspired by the video game's universe.

With its limited edition dedicated to Virtual-On's 30th anniversary, its height of 169.5 mm, its parts molded in ivory, light gray, dark gray, and transparent fluorescent green, its specific antenna, its Type A8 rear stabilizer, and its Sleipnir Mk.6/w weapon, this model offers a project suitable for robot and Virtuaroid universe enthusiasts.
