Inspecting the Bandai 1/144 HG Perfect Strike Gundam

The Bandai 1/144 HG Perfect Strike Gundam brings a detailed interpretation of the Gundam Seed mobile suit and a build process that is both satisfying and instructive. The kit blends clear styling with functional articulation for versatile presentation.

Observations on Parts and Assembly

As a High Grade release, you will notice clean color breaks and precise part mating that cut down on cleanup. The use of undergates reduces visible seam work and the joint construction retains pose without frequent slipping.

Practical Customising Hints

Plastic responds well to primer and thin paint layers, making it a solid platform for custom schemes. Use 800-1000 grit for nub finishing to preserve sharp edges. Panel lining in a darker tone will add depth to mechanical creases and surface detail.

Difficulty and Builder Advice

Marked as a normal difficulty kit, it is a good stepping stone for modellers moving beyond starter kits. Take time to test-fit sections and keep track of small parts to ensure smooth assembly and balanced articulation.

Specifications

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

The Bandai 1/144 HG Perfect Strike Gundam is a reliable HG option that rewards careful build and modest detailing work, producing a model that photographs and displays well.

Sand along the surface gently with fine grit in a consistent motion to avoid rounding edges. Finish with a light polish if needed before priming.
The kit ships with stickers for basic markings. For a cleaner result, many builders upgrade to water slide decals available separately.
Use a small amount of clear nail polish or a dedicated joint tightener on peg shafts to increase friction without modifying the parts.
Decals are optional. The colour separation is strong enough for a complete look, but decals add extra detail and authenticity.
