Bandai 5065313 - HG 1/144 Demi Barding TWFM #23 Gundam Model Kit - Pose-ready High Grade  [B-5065313]

Hands-on guide to the Bandai HG 1/144 Demi Barding build

The Bandai HG 1/144 Demi Barding brings a compact yet detailed High Grade option to the workbench. This hands-on guide outlines assembly flow, articulation behaviour and where you can add personal modifications to improve the finished look.

Articulation and structural design

Careful engineering gives the kit reliable movement without sacrificing stability. Shoulder joints rotate smoothly and retain tension for posed displays, while the leg assemblies are designed to keep the stance firm. These traits make the kit versatile for shelf displays and light diorama setups.

Painting and customization workflow

Hidden gates and tidy part geometry reduce the time spent on cleanup, allowing you to focus on priming and paint. The kit takes washes and panel liners well, and it is suitable for both airbrush and brush techniques when prepared with a suitable primer.

Difficulty and builder advice

Slotting into the High Grade category, the Demi Barding is suitable for builders with basic to intermediate experience. Read the manual carefully, dry-fit parts before final assembly, and use light sanding to remove visible seams for a cleaner finish.

For modellers who enjoy tidy builds and finishing work, the Bandai HG 1/144 Demi Barding is a rewarding kit that adapts well to paint and small-scale customisation.
