HGUC 1/144 Penelope: Detailed Mechanical Replica

Bandai 5058204 presents the HGUC 1/144 Penelope with a focus on mechanical accuracy and articulated performance. With Hajime Katoki credited on the design, this kit reproduces the Penelope's complex forms and is well suited to modellers who prioritise accurate detail and rewarding assembly steps.

Model Engineering and Clear Detailing

The kit emphasises crisp panel work and sturdy construction. Clear parts for the canopy and other elements add realism, and the distinct colour separation reduces the need for full repainting. Signature features like the shoulder guards and tail stabiliser provide presence, while adjustable shoulder inserts allow controlled opening for varied display looks.

Articulation, Accessories and Display

Articulation is engineered for dynamic posing and is complemented by armaments such as a beam rifle, two beam sabers and shields. The supplied display pedestal enables separated presentation of the flight unit alongside the Odysseus Gundam for layered exhibition options.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/144
  • Grade: High Grade (HG)
  • Build Level: Normal

For collectors and modellers after a detailed HG subject, the HGUC 1/144 Penelope is a compelling addition that balances intricate design with solid poseability.

The kit adheres closely to the original design cues, capturing the Penelope's silhouette and mechanical motifs, especially in the shoulder and stabiliser details.
While the kit has strong colour separation out of the box, targeted paintwork and washes will bring out panel detail and enhance contrast for display pieces.
Joints are well engineered for typical display use; applying a small amount of joint tightener or careful use of super glue in stress points can improve long-term stability if needed.
The kit includes two beam sabers, a beam rifle, two shields and a display pedestal to broaden posing and display configurations.
