| Model Kits |
| This page is devoted to some of the many detailed model kits which were produced from Top O Nerae! Gunbuster. Almost all of them were made by the now-defunct company General Products, which is what Gainax called themselves when they were strictly a model making company. These come from my personal collection. |
1/500 Scale Gunbuster Resin Cast Model
Manufacturer: General Products 30 Pieces
Very detailed and heavy resin cast of the Gunbuster.
Quite rare if you can find one, and can be expensive.

many resin kits produced of Noriko. This kit is also quite
rare, but is not as expensive as some of the others.

1/6 Scale Noriko Takaya Resin Cast Model
Manufacturer: Kotobukiya 9 Pieces
Most recent of all the Gunbuster kits produced. Sculpted
by Hiroshi Inagaki, Noriko's "Aim for the Top!" attitude is
wonderfully captured. Very clean mold lines and easy to
assemble. Also includes a base featuring the Cosmoship
Exelion. While no longer in production, this kit is
relatively easy to find.

1/500 Scale Buster Machine 1 Resin Model Kit
Manufacturer: General Products 32 Pieces
Piloted by Noriko Takaya, Buster Machine 1 comprises
one-half of the machine called Gunbuster. A great
looking model kit and very detailed. This kit, along with
its matching cousin, Buster Machine 2, can be very hard
to find as they are pretty rare. If you ever come across
them, buy them before you lose the chance.

1/1200 Scale Cyzlar/Sizzler Resin Model
Manufacturer: General Products 20 Pieces
Very nice resin cast kit of the mass produced Gunbuster
fighting platform created to replace the aging RX-7
Machine Weapon. While non-transformable and smaller
in size, the Sizzler was a formidable combat machine in
the fight against the alien menace. Very rare.
