Bandai 5058172 - 1/100 Gundam Barbatos Collector Kit  [B-5058172]

Overview of the Gundam Barbatos 1/100 by Bandai

The Bandai 5058172 1/100 Gundam Barbatos kit captures the form and motion of the Iron-Blooded Orphans unit in a Full Mechanics format. The design emphasises clean joins and parts that slot together with minimal fuss.

Articulation Details and Part Definition

This kit features a highly articulated inner frame and clear part definition that make dynamic posing straightforward. The separated armour sections add depth and reduce the need for extensive repainting.

Skill Expectations and Tool List

Marked as a moderate build, the kit is best tackled by hobbyists with some prior assembly experience. Recommended tools are side cutters, a hobby knife and fine sanding sticks for seam cleanup.

Painting Hints and Final Coats

Light sanding and panel washes bring out recessed detail. Apply decals after lining and finish with a protective topcoat to ensure markings stay crisp and colour remains even.

The Gundam Barbatos 1/100 is a solid choice for collectors who want an articulated display model with straightforward build steps and room for modest customisation.
