Step-by-step notes for the Bandai MG 1/100 Solid Clear

The MG 1/100 Aile Strike Gundam Ver.RM Solid Clear is a Bandai Master Grade from the 2023 Gundam Ichiban Kuji Prize B series that offers a distinctive transparent presentation. It pairs MG-level engineering with translucent parts that require considered handling. The following guidance focuses on assembly workflow, finishing clear elements, and optimising display.

Maintaining transparency during build work

Clear components let you see internal structures but are prone to marking. Work carefully when separating parts from runners and trim in stages. Use fine abrasives such as 1000 grit to smooth remaining nubs, taking care to avoid over-sanding which can dull the finish. Keep parts free of oils and fingerprints for the best visual clarity.

Articulation, posing and the Aile Striker pack

Pose range is extensive, with joint designs that maintain tension for dynamic stances. The shoulder assemblies and waist articulation support aerial recreations, while the Aile Striker pack broadens expression and silhouette options. The translucent pieces respond well to creative lighting for an enhanced shelf presence.

Rarity and curating this piece

Being a 2023 Ichiban Kuji Prize B release gives this Solid Clear variant collectible status. The clear aesthetic and presentation make it suitable as a focal display item within a collection, distinguishing it from standard MG releases.

Experienced modellers and collectors will find the MG 1/100 Aile Strike Gundam Ver.RM Solid Clear a rewarding project that combines intricate assembly with striking display potential.
