Build breakdown for the Infinite Justice 1/144 HGCE

The Bandai 1/144 Infinite Justice Gundam HGCE No.231 is an engaging High Grade kit inspired by Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny. It recreates the mobile suit's slim lines and armament within a compact 1/144 footprint. The HGCE class offers a good middle ground between visible detail and straightforward assembly work.

Engineering highlights and join quality

Parts exhibit tight tolerances and assemble into coherent subassemblies with few alignment problems. The undergating approach used on several runners reduces the amount of visible gating to smooth out. Modelmakers will find the panel lines well positioned for shading and definition.

Moulded colour and routes for customising

The kit's colour separation is effective, matching the series look closely and cutting down on mandatory painting. For customisers, it provides a solid base for alternate colour schemes, metallic treatments or restrained weathering.

Recommended finishing process and tool tips

Intermediate builders should find the build approachable; careful novices can also succeed with steady progress. For nub removal, work up to 1000-1500 grit sandpaper for a neat finish. Priming with a brand like Mr. Hobby's Mr. Surfacer improves paint grip on ABS and helps achieve an even topcoat.

Specifications

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

In summary, the Bandai 1/144 Infinite Justice Gundam HGCE No.231 is a dependable High Grade kit that suits builders looking to refine seam work or try measured customisation techniques.

A straightforward snap-fit build can be completed in a few hours. Adding painting and weathering will extend the time to a series of sessions across several days.
Aftermarket decals can add extra markings and finer detail not present on the kit decals. They are useful if you want a more accurate or bespoke finish.
Consider painting small or hard to reach parts before final assembly. Larger subassemblies can be masked and sprayed after test fitting to keep moving joints free of paint buildup.
Avoid heavy paint or wash application on friction points. Use thin washes and remove excess promptly, and check movement frequently during weathering to prevent stiffness.
