Bandai 5060655 1/144 HG Raphael Gundam Model Kit  [B-5060655]

Raphael HG Build Summary

The Bandai 5060655 1/144 HG Raphael Gundam presents the Gundam 00 silhouette in a compact High Grade format. The kit emphasizes clear part separation and includes the heavy weapon set that defines the Raphael, making it an engaging build for display-focused hobbyists.

Joint Design and Displayability

Joints are configured to allow a wide range of poses while keeping the model stable on a shelf or base. The bulkier armaments are balanced by reinforced connection points so you can pose the Raphael in combat-ready stances.

Recommended Tools and Assembly Notes

Expect a moderate assembly process that benefits from standard modelling tools. Use side cutters, a hobby knife, sanding files, and a pair of tweezers to handle small parts and decals cleanly.

Surface Care and Detailing Techniques

Removing nub marks with fine sanding and adding panel lining will highlight the sculpted parts. Applying the included decals and finishing with a matt or gloss topcoat will protect the paint and enhance presentation.

Bandai 5060655 HG Raphael Gundam is a rewarding project for builders who prioritise articulation and display. Its unique weaponry and clean moulding make it a standout in a High Grade collection.
