Bandai 185160 - BB-386 RX-105 Xi Gundam SD Starter Kit  [B-185160]

Intro to the SD RX-105 Xi Gundam Kit

The Bandai 185160 - BB-386 RX-105 Xi Gundam translates the mobile suit from Hathaway's Flash into a compact SD form that is pleasant to build and display. Its smaller scale streamlines construction while keeping the main design cues intact.

Design Accuracy and Joint Movement

While articulation is simplified for the SD style, the kit still supports characterful poses and keeps signature elements of the Xi Gundam. The proportions are adjusted to the chibi aesthetic while maintaining recognisable features.

Assembly Level and Essential Tools

Classed as an easy kit, it is well suited to hobbyists seeking a quick assembly. Basic tools such as nippers, a hobby blade, and sanding sticks will cover the needed trimming and clean-up tasks.

Detailing, Decals and Protective Coats

Light sanding and panel lining bring out the sculpted details; decals add markings and a topcoat seals the look. These finishing touches are optional but do enhance shelf appeal.

This Bandai 185160 - BB-386 RX-105 Xi Gundam SD Model Kit is a smart pick for anyone wanting a compact representation of Hathaway's Flash mecha with minimal build fuss.
