Guide to building the MG 1/100 Strike Rouge Clear Color

The Bandai MG 1/100 Strike Rouge Clear Color offers a distinctive clear-part finish on the Gundam SEED iconic design. Semi-transparent components let light travel through panels and reveal inner shapes, while MG-level moulding keeps detail crisp for painting and decals. The kit balances visual flair with solid construction for display-oriented builds.

Flexibility in posing and appearance

Expect full Master Grade articulation that supports both aggressive action poses and stable display positions. The joint construction allows for repeatable positioning, and the clear sections provide an extra visual layer when viewed under spot lighting or daylight.

Tools to pack and expected build difficulty

Build difficulty is moderate and suits builders who have completed a few kits. Bring quality nippers, a sharp craft knife, sanding sticks of varied grit and a pair of pointed tweezers for decal work and small part handling.

Finishing advice for clear components

Preserve clarity by avoiding heavy primer on transparent parts and by using careful masking for painted areas. Soft panel lining can increase depth without hiding the translucency, and a controlled topcoat will protect decals and surfaces while keeping the clear look intact.

This MG 1/100 Strike Rouge Clear Color is a visually engaging kit that suits display-focused builders. Its translucent elements and dependable articulation reward careful assembly and lighting choices.

Bandai does not typically include extras for clear pieces, so handle them with care. For major damage, check spare parts services or donor kits for replacements.
Use very light panel lining on clear areas to avoid staining. A fine-tip marker diluted with cleaner or a careful enamel wash can give subtle definition without overpowering the translucency.
Directional LED spotlights or edge lighting highlight clear parts effectively. Experiment with warm and cool tones to see which emphasises inner details or outer panels most pleasingly.
Yes, but plan wiring routes before final assembly. Use thin-gauge wire and small LEDs, and secure components to avoid stress on joints during posing.
Accurate masking is important when painting near clear parts. Use low-tack masking tape and press edges firmly to prevent bleed, removing tape slowly after paint cures.
