Bandai 5057989 - BB-261 Aegis Gundam BB Model Kit Compact Display Kit  [B-5057989]

Highlights of the BB-261 Aegis Gundam kit

The Bandai BB-261 Aegis Gundam kit interprets the Aegis Gundam from Gundam SEED at SD scale, emphasising a faithful silhouette and a transformable assembly. It is aimed at enthusiasts who enjoy small but mechanically interesting kits.

Mode switching and articulation details

The model converts between mobile suit and mobile armour arrangements, offering two distinct presentations. The articulation scheme is tuned for SD proportions and allows expressive poses while holding together during conversions.

Difficulty rating and essential modelling tools

Classed as a moderate build, the kit suits those familiar with basic modelling techniques. Recommended tools are side cutters, a hobby knife and a sanding stick to clean part gates and refine joins.

Preparation, painting and finishing pointers

Parts come moulded in colour, but light sanding and careful panel lining will emphasise recessed details. Applying decals and a protective topcoat gives a cleaner display finish and helps preserve painted areas.

The BB-261 Aegis Gundam is a compact, well-engineered SD kit for collectors who enjoy mode variety and solid pose options in a small package.
