Bandai 5055733 HG 1/144 Gundam Exia Repair Model Kit - Off-Road Posing Edition  [B-5055733]

Hands-on build overview for the Bandai HG 1/144 Gundam Exia Repair II

The Bandai HG 1/144 Gundam Exia Repair II is a great pick for modelers who want a compact kit with bold articulation and fine panel detail. Taken from the Gundam 00 series, the Exia Repair II retains the original's agile look while offering tidy runner layout and stable joints. It suits builders who like to push poses for dynamic display shots.

Assembly strengths and poseability

Component fit is generally tight and undergating helps reduce post-trim sanding. The elbow and knee joints hold poses well, making action stances practical for photography or shelf display. Color separation is good, so the kit looks solid even before painting.

Custom work and paint workflow

Surface detail is receptive to washes and drybrushing, and the plastic takes both acrylic and lacquer paints reliably. For crisp panel lines use a contrasting wash, and protect decals and weathering with a clear topcoat. Small putty fills and careful sanding will tidy seams for a cleaner finish.

All up, the Bandai HG 1/144 Gundam Exia Repair II is a rewarding HG kit for modders who value articulation, neat construction and room to personalise finishes.
