Workshop Guide for Bandai 5057927 HG 1/144 GN-001 Gundam Exia

The Bandai HG 1/144 GN-001 Gundam Exia is a well-engineered High Grade kit that suits builders who value solid joints and clean lines. Sourced from Mobile Suit Gundam 00, this kit balances ease of assembly with options for enhanced detailing and paintwork.

Box Contents and First Notes

The kit arrives with clearly labelled runners and carefully moulded parts, which helps speed up construction. The strong colour separation reduces the need for heavy painting, and precise tolerances mean fewer adjustment steps during assembly.

Articulation and Fit Assessment

This model offers good articulation, enabling realistic poses across shoulders, hips and knees. The undergating technique used on parts keeps nub marks out of sight and makes for tidier sealing and lining work. There is room to add extra detailing for more advanced builds.

Practical Finishing Pointers

To achieve a clean result, start nub removal with 400-grit sandpaper then refine with 600-grit. Use a thin panel liner to capture detail without overwhelming the sculpt. For pose durability, secure high-use joints with a dab of cement or consider tighter replacement pins.

The Bandai HG 1/144 GN-001 Gundam Exia is a dependable High Grade kit that rewards careful assembly and modest upgrades, making it a strong pick for builders focused on stable displays.
