Overview of the RG Crossbone Gundam X1 Build

Bandai's Real Grade series places a lot of engineering into small-scale kits, and the Crossbone Gundam X1 follows that formula. This model recreates the Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam design with careful part layout and articulation made for expressive poses.

Articulation Performance and Detailing

The RG Crossbone Gundam X1 offers a flexible articulation system that supports a wide range of poses. Shoulder articulation and limb joints are tuned to maintain position while showing off layered panel detail without extensive custom painting.

Assembly Difficulty and Recommended Kit Tools

The kit is best tackled by modellers with some prior RG or high-detail model experience. A set of side cutters, a precision hobby knife, sanding sticks and tweezers will help achieve clean joins and remove excess sprue.

Finishing Techniques for Best Results

Applying panel lining and decals will sharpen the kit's details. If you prefer extra protection and a unified sheen, add a clear topcoat after finishing, though many collectors also appreciate the out of box look.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/144
  • Grade: RG
  • Build Level: Moderate

The RG 1/144 Crossbone Gundam X1 is a solid choice for enthusiasts who want a compact, poseable model with room for modest detailing and display customization.

Does this kit include any visual effect parts?

Yes, the set contains beam effect parts intended to enhance posed displays.

Is it straightforward to apply decals?

Decals are typical water slide or sticker types depending on the release; using tweezers and a small brush will help position them accurately.

How does this compare to other RG kits in terms of challenge?

It sits within the usual RG difficulty range, offering fine detail and articulation similar to other Real Grade entries without being radically more complex.

Any tips for preserving small parts during assembly?

Work over a parts tray or mat to catch dropped pieces, and keep sprues organised to avoid losing small connectors during the build.
