The Bandai 151007 - 1/400 Ptolemaios model kit brings the Gundam 00 support ship into scale with the EX Model focus on detail. The kit's components are designed to reflect the original craft while offering a satisfying building process for dedicated hobbyists.

Seam Lines and Fitment

This 1/400 kit emphasises clean fitment and deliberate part separation to present the Ptolemaios contours accurately. Most parts align well, which cuts down on extensive filler or reshaping during assembly.

Tooling Advice and Expected Build Time

Moderate skill is required and a careful approach will speed progress. Keep side cutters, a hobby knife and sanding sticks handy for trimming and smoothing. Allow several sessions to complete the model without rushing delicate steps.

Surface Prep and Topcoat Recommendations

Remove sprue marks with gentle sanding and apply panel wash to bring out recessed lines. Decals should be applied after paint has cured, then sealed with a clear topcoat to protect the finish and add cohesion to the model's appearance.
