Hands-On Overview of the MG Super Gundam

The Bandai 171420 - 1/100 MG Super Gundam brings Master Grade engineering to classic Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam styling. The kit balances accurate silhouette with separated armor pieces for a refined build outcome.

Movement Range and Component Fit

This Super Gundam supports expressive posing thanks to well-designed joint geometry. Elbow and knee mechanisms are built for repeatable articulation, and panel separation helps parts sit flush without excessive filler.

Assembly Difficulty and Recommended Kit

Expect an advanced build experience. Recommended tools include quality nippers, a sharp hobby knife, sanding sponges, and small clamps or tweezers for fiddly sections.

Painting Sequence and Cleanup Advice

Remove nub marks with progressive sanding and consider primer to check for filler spots. Subtle weathering and a protective clear finish will bring out recessed details while preserving surface integrity.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/100

The Bandai 171420 - 1/100 MG Super Gundam is a rewarding project for experienced builders seeking a stable, poseable centerpiece with good scope for paint and detail work.

Yes, the separated panels and solid mounting points make it straightforward to test-fit aftermarket weapons and add-ons designed for 1/100 Master Grade frames.
A satin or semi-gloss topcoat balances realism and durability, while gloss is useful if you plan to apply heavy decals before sealing.
Avoid over-sanding joint pegs and consider a small amount of plastic-safe lubricator or thin Pledge-like product to maintain smooth motion without slop.
While the kit looks solid out of the box, paint and panel lining greatly enhance depth and realism, especially for display pieces.
Decals adhere better to a smooth, slightly glossy surface. Use a gloss coat or decal setting solution to reduce silvering and improve adhesion.
