Guide to assembling the Bandai HGBF 1/144 Gundam Fenice Rinascita

The Gundam Fenice Rinascita is a High Grade model from the Build Fighters series, geared toward builders with prior experience. It blends elegant proportions with robust part engineering that supports both straight builds and more ambitious custom work.

Appearance, joints and prepped parts

Colour separation in the kit is strong, so the assembled model looks sharp without paint. Joints offer a good range of action for dynamic posing. The use of undergating reduces visible nub scars and the parts fit together cleanly, cutting down time spent on rework.

Modding and finishing options

The kit is suitable for painters and modders who want to try new colour schemes or add custom markings. Panel lining and selective shading bring out the fine sculpted detail. Many parts come apart easily for access during painting and detailing.

Shop bench tips for a tidy build

Use 800 to 1000 grit sandpaper for smoothing nubs. Apply a primer for ABS plastic before topcoat to ensure adhesion, especially when using an airbrush. For crisp paint edges apply flexible masking tape to small or curved regions like the torso accents.

For experienced builders the Bandai HGBF Gundam Fenice Rinascita delivers on precision fit and customisation potential, making it a sensible pick for those who like to personalise their Gunpla.

No glue is required for assembly. The parts are designed to snap together, though glue can be used for permanent fixes or custom mods.
Acrylics and lacquers both work, but test on scraps first. Use a primer for ABS and thin coats to avoid obscuring detail.
Trim closely with nippers, then sand progressively from coarse to 1000 grit and finish with a polish or primer to hide remaining imperfections.
Yes, panel lining highlights recessed details and gives the model a more mechanical, finished appearance.
Soak decals briefly, slide into position, and use a setting solution to help them sit in recessed areas. Seal with a clear coat after they dry.
