Review of the HG 1/144 GN Arms Type-E plus Gundam Exia

The Bandai 5057929 HG 1/144 GN Arms Type-E with Gundam Exia Trans-Am Mode combines the bulk of the GN Arms with Exia's agile form to create a memorable model. The kit is best for builders who enjoy methodical construction and a striking finished display.

Construction Considerations and Difficulty

As a High Grade with advanced features, this kit benefits from deliberate assembly and careful part cleaning. The GN Arms' size requires attention to balance and secure joins to prevent sagging in posed setups.

Appearance and Display Options

The Trans-Am Mode finish offers a polished metallic tone that photographs well and draws attention on a shelf. Exia's articulation remains functional for a variety of poses, and the GN Arms provides solid visual scale for display scenes.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/144
  • Grade: High Grade
  • Build Level: Advanced

This Bandai kit is a fine choice for experienced Gunpla fans seeking a build with both technical interest and strong display presence.

Is this kit suitable for a first High Grade build?

Not ideally. While it is a High Grade, the GN Arms integration and balance make it more appropriate for someone with prior Gunpla experience.

Do I need extra adhesives for assembly?

No glue is typically required for this kit, but a small amount of plastic cement can help reinforce any loose connection if you prefer a more permanent build.

What cleaning and finishing steps are recommended?

Trim gates cleanly, sand with progressively finer grits, use a panel liner to bring out detail, and finish with a protective clear coat to preserve the Trans-Am look.

Will decals affect the metallic Trans-Am finish?

Decals can sit cleanly over the metallic finish if applied with care. Consider a gloss coat before decal application to help them settle and a final clear coat to seal them.
