Hands-on guide to the Shiranui Akatsuki HG build

The Bandai HG 1/144 Shiranui Akatsuki Gundam Seed No.38 is a High Grade kit that delivers strong visual impact and a rewarding build process. Its metallic details and clear part definition suit modders and display builders alike.

What the box contains and part layout

The contents include multiple runners with parts organised to reduce trimming. Colour separation is well implemented so assembly yields a crisp look without extensive repainting. The gold-plated sections add a premium metallic sheen ideal for display models.

Build feel, joint range and stability

Part fit is reliable and usually requires minimal rework. You can achieve a range of dynamic poses thanks to well-designed joints that keep the model steady. The undergating technique helps hide seam marks for a cleaner result.

Customising ideas for advanced hobbyists

Advanced builders can explore subtle weathering to contrast the gold finish or add custom decals. Use an ABS-friendly primer on inner frames before painting, and brace any high-stress joints if fitting aftermarket accessories.

The Bandai HG 1/144 Shiranui Akatsuki Gundam Seed No.38 is a well-executed High Grade kit that combines showy finishes with straightforward build mechanics, making it a great base for custom projects.
