Bandai 5063822 - MG 1/100 Gundam GP01 Display Grade Kit  [B-5063822]

Assembling the MG Gundam GP01

The MG 1/100 Gundam GP01 from Bandai offers a compact but detailed assembly experience reflecting Master Grade standards. It lets modellers accurately recreate the Mobile Suit from Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory with stable subassemblies.

Joint Performance and Colour Split

The kit's joint design enables expressive posing, with shoulder mechanisms built for rotation and knees that provide firm support in standing poses. Clever part splits ensure correct colour separation, minimising the need for complex masking.

Build Difficulty and Tool Suggestions

Rated as a moderate build, the kit rewards careful attention to runner prep. Recommended tools include side cutters, a sharp hobby blade and sanding sticks to tidy connections and achieve snug fits.

Prep Work, Painting Advice and Sealing

Careful sanding removes nub marks before panel lining to define recessed detail. Adding decals and a protective clear coat will both improve longevity and enhance the model's appearance if you opt for them.

The MG 1/100 Gundam GP01 is a fulfilling build for those who enjoy a balance of engineering detail and poseable display potential.
