Bandai 5057382 HG 1/144 BuCUE Compact Quad Model  [B-5057382]

What makes the BuCUE stand out in HG lineups

The Bandai HG 1/144 BuCUE brings a non-humanoid option to Gunpla collectors, featuring four-legged architecture that differs from standard mobile suits. Pulled from Gundam SEED, it faithfully recreates key visual cues while providing a compact but engaging build sequence.

Poseability and mechanical layout

The kit emphasises leg articulation and body balance, letting you stage low profile or prowling poses. Detail lines and separate components are designed to show off paint and wash techniques once the build is completed.

Skill expectations and basic toollist

Marked as moderate in complexity, the BuCUE is best for builders who have some HG experience. Basic supplies such as nippers, a hobby knife, sanding paper, and fine brushes are recommended.

Painting pointers and protection tips

Minor surface preparation will improve part mating and paint adhesion. Use panel lining to accent recesses and finish with a clear coat to safeguard your paintwork and decals.

The HG 1/144 BuCUE is a concise, well thought out kit for modellers eager to try an unconventional mobile suit with strong display potential.
