Bandai 5057938 - Gundam Kyrios 1/100 Transforming Kit  [B-5057938]

Workshop Notes for the Bandai 1/100 Gundam Kyrios

The Bandai 5057938 1/100 GN-003 Gundam Kyrios is a transform-capable kit from the Gundam 00 line that highlights moving assemblies and mechanical shapes. It is practical for builders who enjoy hands-on conversion work and realistic posing options.

Pivots, Locks and Flight Conversion

Key parts are engineered to pivot and lock during the change from mobile suit to flight mode, allowing confident posing once each section is correctly seated. The design aims to keep transitions intuitive for experienced hobbyists.

Parts Prep and Essential Tools

Expect a moderate level of assembly; common modelling tools like side cutters, a hobby knife, sanding sticks and tweezers will cover most steps. Thorough deburring and dry fitting makes panel lines and joint action cleaner.

Surface Work and Detailing Tips

Perform light sanding at nub points and use panel lining to bring out the kit's engineering. Apply decals carefully and finish with a protective topcoat to maintain paint and markings over time.

This Bandai 1/100 Gundam Kyrios offers a satisfying combination of transformable mechanics and display value, making it a practical pick for model collections focused on motion and detail.
