Overview and Build Notes for Bandai HG 1/144 Gundam Kimaris

The Bandai HG 1/144 Gundam Kimaris captures a distinctive knightly aesthetic while remaining approachable for a broad range of builders. Its sculpt and parts layout make it a good candidate for both clean builds and light customisation work.

Part Fit and Craftsmanship

Parts exhibit clean mould lines and generally excellent fit. The undergating keeps visible nubs to a minimum, which reduces the amount of trimming and sanding needed to achieve a neat finish.

Colour Blocking and Surface Work

Colour separation is notable on this High Grade, with the purple and white sections clearly defined. Panel lining will bring out recessed detail, and mild weathering or decals can be used to give a more lived-in appearance.

Articulation and Display Poses

The Kimaris offers dependable articulation that supports a range of poses. While heavy armour elements are present, the joint design helps maintain stability, though you may prefer a stand for more extreme positions.

Weapons Pack and Presentation Tips

Included accessories such as the drill lance and shield open up varied display arrangements. Pairing the model with a small base or posing it in a guarded stance highlights the kit's medieval-inspired lines.

Specifications

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

The Bandai HG 1/144 Gundam Kimaris is a dependable High Grade kit that balances striking design with practical buildability, making it well suited to both display and light custom projects.

The kit is classed as normal difficulty. Intermediate modellers will find it quick to build, while beginners can complete it with standard tools and care.
Decals can be added to enhance markings. Waterslide decals give the best finish but require patience and a setting solution for clean application.
If joints feel loose, a small amount of clear nail polish or a plastic-safe joint tightener applied sparingly can improve hold without permanent alteration.
A plain base with a subtle backdrop works well to focus on the silhouette. Alternatively, a low-angle action pose with the lance emphasises the Kimaris character.
