What to Expect from the Gundam Vidar 1/144 High Grade Kit

The Bandai HG 1/144 Gundam Vidar condenses the characterful design from Iron-Blooded Orphans into a compact High Grade package. It is built to provide consistent assembly results and reliable poseability, making it a practical choice for display or diorama projects.

Model Surface and Assembly Quality

Parts are moulded with clear colour zones to reduce painting needs. The precision of the connections means less trimming and a cleaner overall build. Undergates are positioned to keep visible nubs low, which helps the finished model look polished with minimal rework.

Joint Range and Stability

The kit features well designed joints that permit expressive stances while maintaining balance. The elbow and knee mechanisms give good articulation relative to other HG kits, and the overall centre of gravity supports stable tabletop displays.

Assembly Shortcuts and Paint Prep

For a tidy build, cut parts from runners with flush nippers then sand the nubs using 600 grit followed by 1000 grit. If you plan to paint, apply a primer made for ABS parts; Tamiya primers are commonly used by hobbyists for consistent adhesion.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/144
  • Grade: High Grade (HG)
  • Build Level: Normal

Bandai's HG 1/144 Gundam Vidar combines clean engineering with faithful styling, offering a rewarding build for modellers who value fit and poseability.

No glue is required for the primary assembly. This High Grade kit is designed for snap-fit construction. Glue can be used for permanent customisations or added details.
Joints hold well for static display and moderate handling. If you plan frequent reposing, consider light friction tweaks like joint tighteners or a small application of clear nail polish on the peg.
Aftermarket waterslide decals and stickers can be applied. Use a gloss coat before applying waterslide decals to prevent silvering, then seal with a clear topcoat.
Use a fine-tipped panel liner or enamel wash for recessed lines. Remove excess with a cotton bud lightly dampened with enamel thinner, then seal with a topcoat to protect the lines.
A generic 1/144 action base or a clear acrylic stand works well for dynamic flying poses. Check balance after mounting to avoid undue stress on hip joints.
