Aun (Rize) Armor 1/144 HG - Builder Review

The Aun (Rize) Armor from Bandai's HGBD:R series is a compact, well detailed 1/144 kit that appeals to builders who value tidy engineering and poseability. Inspired by Gundam Build Divers Re:RISE, this model offers a lot of detail in a small footprint and responds well to careful finishing work.

Quality of Fit and Movement

Part tolerances are good, producing a snug fit with minimal clean up required. The articulation layout lets you stage dynamic stances for display, and the connection points provide a reassuring degree of robustness for routine handling.

Separation of Colours and Surface Work

Good colour blocking across the sprues keeps the kit looking correct straight from the box, and the engraved lines take washes well. The gate positions are arranged to protect prominent surfaces for an easier finishing pass.

Options for Custom Work

If you like to customise, this kit is accommodating. It accepts modest kitbashing and small scratch parts without dramatic rework, so you can tailor the silhouette while keeping the original engineering intact.

Simple Build Recommendations

Cut parts close with nippers then smooth the marks using 1000 grit sandpaper to avoid losing sharp panel detail. Prime with a Tamiya primer for best paint adhesion on mixed plastics, and use thin masking tape for tight panel lines during painting.

For intermediate builders and collectors, the Aun (Rize) Armor 1/144 HG is a compact and adaptable kit that suits both neat out of the box builds and modest custom projects.
