Bandai 5055728 - HG 1/144 Super Gundam Model Kit - Off-Rack FXA-05D/RX-178  [B-5055728]

What to expect when building the HG 1/144 Super Gundam

The Bandai HG 1/144 FXA-05D/RX-178 Super Gundam model kit presents a thoughtful assembly process that appeals to steady-handed builders. Drawing from Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, it combines the RX-178 Gundam Mk-II with the G-Defenser to form the Super Gundam. The High Grade label delivers a practical compromise between visible detail and straightforward construction.

Articulation and mounting options

Designed for active posing, the kit offers dependable joint movement across major limbs. Shoulder and knee joints provide pose stability, and the docking arrangement for the G-Defenser secures the two sections together for multiple display formats.

Build notes and essential supplies

This kit is moderately demanding and rewards careful trimming. Recommended items include side cutters, a precision hobby knife and sanding implements to remove nubs and refine joins. Working methodically will improve the end appearance.

Touch-ups, decals and protective coats

While the model looks good straight from the runners, applying panel lines and decals adds definition. A topcoat protects decals and painted areas while unifying the model's finish.

The HG 1/144 Super Gundam model kit is a well-balanced release that delivers satisfying articulation and clean part separation, making it a sensible choice for display-focused builders.
