Mastering the Bandai 5057927 HG 1/144 GN-001 Gundam Exia: A Modellers Guide

The Bandai HG 1/144 GN-001 Gundam Exia combines precise moulding with lively articulation, offering modellers a kit that rewards careful finishing. Inspired by Mobile Suit Gundam 00, the Exia's silhouette and joint layout make it a versatile subject for upgrades and display staging.

Initial Assessment on Opening

Inside the box you will find logically organised runners and crisply printed parts. The kit's colour separation reduces immediate paint requirements, and parts generally slot together cleanly with minimal trimming needed.

Joint Performance and Build Quality

Articulation is a highlight, with flexible range at the shoulders and knees for dynamic posing. Undergating keeps nub marks out of sight, streamlining the cleaning stage. Advanced builders can add detail or small custom components to boost realism.

Refinement and Display Prep

For tidy nub removal start with 400-grit and follow with 600-grit for a fine finish. Use a precise panel liner to lift engraved lines and reveal mechanical detail. Reinforce joints that will bear heavy poses with a touch of cement for long-term stability.

All told, the Bandai HG 1/144 GN-001 Gundam Exia is a rewarding High Grade kit that suits both straightforward builds and more detailed modelling projects for those who enjoy refining panel work and joins.
