1/144 HG RMS-099 Rick Dias Build Guide

The Bandai 176369 - 1/144 HG RMS-099 Rick Dias Model Kit is a compact project that captures the character of the Rick Dias from Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam. Its engineering focuses on reliable fit and practical articulation, so builders can create both static and expressive stances with confidence. The kit is well suited to collectors who prefer smart builds over complex conversions.

Poseability and Finish

Articulation points deliver usable range without fiddly modifications. The legs and arms allow action poses that reflect the mobile suit's design, and the part separation reduces the need for heavy masking. Customisers can still paint and add weathering to personalise the model.

Assembly Difficulty and Essentials

With a moderate assembly grade, this kit is friendly to those refining their skills. Recommended supplies include sprue cutters, a precision hobby blade, and sanding sticks. Follow the included manual for logical sub-assembly and tidy seam handling.

Surface Preparation and Final Steps

Sand nub points smooth and use panel lining to accentuate mechanical creases. Apply decals carefully and finish with a protective coat to lock in your paint and markings for long-term display.

Bandai 176369 - 1/144 HG RMS-099 Rick Dias Model Kit is a fine pick for builders who want a faithful 1/144 High Grade with sensible complexity and good display potential.
