HG Blue Destiny Unit 1 'Exam' 1/144 - Shiny Finish, Classic Lines

The Bandai 5055572 HG 1/144 Blue Destiny Unit 1 'Exam' gives the familiar silhouette a glossy metallic treatment. This version suits builders who want a premium look without committing to complex paintwork.

How the Metallic Gloss Changes the Build

The metallic gloss injection produces a reflective surface that reduces the visual impact of minor trimming marks. Builders without spray setups can still achieve a convincing metal-like appearance straight from the kit.

Construction Quality and Pose Options

True to High Grade form, the kit uses straightforward assembly with secure joint engineering. You can pose it dynamically, and the connection points keep figures steady for display or tabletop shoots.

Personalisation and Detail Enhancements

Panel lining, waterslide decals and light weathering will add depth to the reflective panels. The kit is compatible with common aftermarket parts and simple modifications for hobbyists who like to tweak their builds.

Specifications

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

For collectors looking for a ready-to-display High Grade with a standout surface, the Blue Destiny Unit 1 'Exam' metallic gloss variant is an attractive and user-friendly option.

Priming is optional. A gloss-friendly surface like this often takes decals well, but using a light gloss topcoat can improve decal laydown and protect the finish.
Yes, the joints are designed for stability and hold standard posing under normal display conditions. Pinching or light tightening can help if you plan complex diorama setups.
You can paint over the gloss, but proper surface prep is important. Scuff the gloss lightly and use suitable primers to ensure paint adhesion.
Panel lining, subtle washes and picking out mechanical bits with a fine brush make the details pop without removing the overall shine.
