Putting Together the RX-93 Nu Gundam with a Metallic Finish

The Bandai 5055613 - HGUC 1/144 RX-93 Nu Gundam Metallic Coating Ver. recreates Amuro Ray's Nu Gundam from Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack with a lustrous metallic treatment. The High Grade tooling emphasises clean part separation and accurate proportions, making it a satisfying kit for those who like factory-applied effects or minor touchups.

Articulation Performance and Build Level

This release delivers confident articulation for striking displays, with shoulder joints that rotate and maintain tension for stable posing. The build sits at a normal HG difficulty, and basic modelling gear like nippers, a hobby knife, and sanding tools will help tidy up the finished model.

Painting, Panel Lining and Protection

The metallic coating gives a ready-to-display sheen with fewer obvious seams. To boost realism try fine panel lining and decal work, then seal everything with a clear coat to protect the finish and maintain the metallic shine.

Specifications

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

For collectors and builders seeking a metallic-finish HGUC kit with reliable poseability, the RX-93 Nu Gundam Metallic Coating Ver. is a tasteful and accessible addition to any collection.

Yes, the normal build level and snap-fit construction make it suitable for newcomers, though basic tools and patience will improve results.
A light gloss or semi-gloss clear coat preserves the metallic look; avoid heavy matt coats if you want to keep the sheen.
Tighten loose joints by cleaning contact surfaces, applying a tiny amount of clear nail polish or Pledge floor polish to friction points, or use small shims for a longer term fix.
Use subtle washes and pastels sparingly to add grit while avoiding abrasive techniques that could remove the metallic layer. Test methods on spare parts first.
