The fires of Rubicon burn again as Bandai brings Open Faith to model form

From the high-velocity arenas of Armoured Core VI: Fires of Rubicon, Bandai Namco has unveiled the 30 Minutes Missions Arquebus ADD VE-40A Open Faith model kit — a modular plastic recreation of one of the game’s formidable mechs. Integrating into the 30MM system, the kit brings the signature Armoured Core design philosophy into a customisable and accessible build format.

Standing with its characteristic slim profile and angular armour, Open Faith captures the look of the Arquebus design lineage through colour-separated armour panels and intricate joint structures. The model employs standard 3 mm connection ports compatible with other 30MM and Armoured Core VI kits, allowing full interchangeability between components and weapon systems.

Specifications

The 30MM Arquebus ADD VE-40A Open Faith features precision-moulded plastic parts across the head, core, arms, and legs, using the shared frame concept of the 30MM series. Included weapons consist of the VP-66EG, VE-67LLA (stored and deployed versions with effect parts), VE-60SNA, and Vvc-70VPM. The modular joint system allows flexible attachment of armaments on either shoulder or forearm positions.

Accessories / Features

Accessories include effect parts for the laser lance, connectors for an optional action base, and a water-decal sheet. The assembly is snap-fit, requiring no adhesives, while supporting advanced modification for experienced builders. The entire set retains compatibility across the 30MM ecosystem, encouraging full-scale experimentation with loadouts and aesthetic configurations.

Release Details

Scheduled for release in Japan on 20 September 2025, the 30MM Arquebus ADD VE-40A Open Faith will retail for 4,800 yen (approximately S$48–55). Distributed under the 30 Minutes Missions Armoured Core VI line, this release marks a continued expansion of Bandai’s cross-series modular system into the world of high-speed mechanised combat.
