Bandai 120460 1/144 Raider Gundam High Grade Kit  [B-120460]

Bandai 1/144 Raider Gundam Overview

The 1/144 Raider Gundam kit reproduces a recognisable Gundam SEED design in a compact, collector-friendly scale. Bandai focused on maintaining the model's transformation traits while keeping parts straightforward to assemble.

Joint Range and Transform Mechanics

Articulation supports a strong selection of poses and the kit includes a practical transform sequence to switch between combat and compact modes. The joint engineering helps maintain balance even when posed dynamically.

Difficulty Rating and Useful Tools

Classified as a moderate build, this kit is best tackled by those with some prior modelling experience. Have side cutters, a hobby knife, and sanding sticks on hand to remove flash and smooth joints.

Painting Workflow and Surface Work

Simple sanding followed by panel lining will enhance engraved detail. Apply decals after lining and finish with a clear coat to seal decals and even out gloss levels across the model.

The 1/144 Raider Gundam strikes a good balance between transformable playability and collectible display quality, making it an enjoyable HG project for intermediate modellers.
