Practical Guide to Building the Bandai HG 1/144 Gundam Kimaris

The Bandai HG 1/144 Gundam Kimaris offers a satisfying build for hobbyists who appreciate stylised armour and mod-friendly parts. Its knight-inspired look pairs well with weathering and decal work, while the kit remains accessible for builders refining their skills.

Assembly Fit and Part Quality

Components are crisply moulded and slot together with reliable fit. The use of undergating helps preserve external surfaces, so visible nub cleanup is usually minor. Overall construction feels sturdy throughout the build.

Detailing and Colour Handling

This High Grade shows good colour separation, letting the main purple and white panels stand out. Panel lining will sharpen the engraved details, and adding waterslide decals or minimal weathering enhances realism without overcomplicating the finish.

Range of Motion and Stability

Even with its heavier armour plates, the Kimaris maintains commendable articulation. Joints can support a variety of poses, but take care with extended leg or lance positions to maintain centre balance and avoid tipping.

Accessories Included and Display Ideas

The drill lance and shield supplied with the kit expand presentation options. Consider combining the shield with an angled stand or posing the Kimaris mid-charge to highlight the sculpt and weapon details.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/144
  • Grade: High Grade
  • Build Level: Normal

Bandai HG 1/144 Gundam Kimaris is a flexible kit that caters to hands-on builders and display-focused collectors alike, offering tidy engineering and scope for personal touches.

No glue is necessary for assembly. Parts are designed to snap fit, although some modders use adhesive for permanent joins or custom fixes.
Match the purples with mid-tone violet or custom mixes, and use a clean white for contrast. Test small areas before committing to full panels.
The lance is sturdy for normal display use, but avoid excessive force when swapping hands or reposing to prevent stress on the peg joints.
Use a low-angle base or mirror backing to accentuate the model's silhouette. Dynamic poses with the lance angled forward work well to convey motion.
