Assembly Notes for the Bandai Sinanju 1/144 HG

The Bandai Sinanju 1/144 HG kit reproduces the dramatic silhouette of the franchise machine with engineering that appeals to experienced modellers. The kit balances refined detail with solid joint design to achieve lively displays when completed.

Pose Mechanics and Thruster Movement

The leg thrusters are built to move independently, providing improved stance flexibility. The backpack assembly opens and closes to enable a wider range of action poses, helping recreate scenes where movement and flight are emphasised.

Engraving Fidelity and Weapon Options

Delicate engravings augmented by foil overlays add realistic surface texture. The kit contains closed fist parts and a weapons suite that includes a Beam Rifle with grenade fittings and a transformable Beam Axe that converts to a Beam Naginata for varied arrangements.

Surface Finish and Cleanup Recommendations

Parts are arranged to keep seam lines discreet, yet a gentle sanding with 600-800 grit paper will remove nub marks cleanly. Use an ABS-compatible primer before painting and exploit the undergating design for tidy joins and minimal filler work.

Specifications

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

The Bandai Sinanju 1/144 HG is a rewarding kit for modellers focused on articulation and surface detail, delivering a strong display presence after careful build and finish.

Enamels can be used over a suitable primer, though ventilation and drying time are important. Many modellers prefer acrylics for quicker handling and easier clean up.
Weapon pegs and hand grips generally fit well, but minor sanding of pegs or the grip interior can improve seating and reduce wobble for display.
Plan decal placement around foil areas, and use a setting solution to help decals conform. Avoid excessive abrasion on foil panels during decal application.
If joints loosen with handling, small applications of white glue or a dab of clear nail polish on peg ends can firm them up without affecting the look.
