The HGUC 1/144 Gundam Ez8 is a High Grade kit that makes a strong impression with tidy fitting parts and a design that suits realistic finishing. Taken from Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team, it appeals to modellers who favour authentic, battle-worn styling.
Expect generally accurate joins and useful colour separation for an HG release. The clean connections reduce the need for heavy filling and allow you to concentrate on panel revelling and subtle paintwork to enhance depth.
The kit includes undergated pieces and solid articulation, so it is well suited to pose variation and aftermarket tweaks. Subtle washes, pin washes and edge wear can all lift the Ez8 without heavy modification.
Remove nubs with 600 to 800 grit paper, then use an ABS-friendly primer before painting. For fine paint divisions use thin masking tape or liquid mask and apply paint in multiple thin passes for an even finish.
The HGUC 1/144 Gundam Ez8 is a dependable kit for modellers seeking a compact project that still rewards time spent on finishing and weathering techniques.
