Gundam Vidar 1/144 HG - Precision in a Small Scale

The Bandai HG 1/144 Gundam Vidar reproduces the silhouette and detailing of the Iron-Blooded Orphans mobile suit in a compact High Grade format. It offers a neat balance of detail and mechanical function, suited to hobbyists who focus on both display and posing potential.

Detailing and Moulding Quality

This kit benefits from accurate moulding and deliberate colour separation that reduces the need for repainting. The parts align well with minimal gap issues, and undergating is used to conceal runner marks in visible areas for a cleaner final look.

Pushing the Pose Limits

Articulation on Gundam Vidar allows for expressive stances with supportive joint design that keeps the model stable. The elbows and knees are engineered to give a good range of motion compared with other HG releases, making action poses more convincing.

Practical Hints for Builders

Complete the build with basic tools: flush nippers, sanding pads and a hobby knife. Sand nub marks starting with 600 grit and finish with 1000 grit for a smooth surface prior to painting. For paint adhesion on ABS parts, a Tamiya primer is widely used by modelmakers.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/144
  • Grade: High Grade (HG)
  • Build Level: Normal

The Bandai HG 1/144 Gundam Vidar stands as a dependable High Grade kit that delivers both aesthetic accuracy and dependable build mechanics for collectors and modellers.

This is a 1/144 scale High Grade kit. While smaller than master grade options, it retains clear panel lines and good surface detail appropriate for shelf displays and dioramas.
Start with 600 grit to remove larger marks, then progress to 1000 grit for a smooth finish. Use light passes and check frequently to avoid over sanding small details.
You can swap parts with compatible HG kits, but test-fit components first and be prepared to adjust joints or connectors for a secure fit. Minor modifications may be required for perfect alignment.
