Bandai 5059166 HGAW 163 1/144 Gundam Double X Model Kit - Detailed HG Version  [B-5059166]

Introduction to the Bandai 1/144 HG Gundam Double X

The Bandai 1/144 HG Gundam Double X captures the distinctive look of Mobile Suit Gundam X and provides a detailed build for modellers who enjoy methodical construction. It faithfully represents Garrod Ran's second Mobile Suit with a focus on articulation and display potential.

Highlighted Features and Mechanics

This kit is notable for its articulated reflector panels and the twin satellite cannons that can be posed in firing arrangements. These mechanisms add realism and require careful assembly to achieve reliable movement and stable displays.

Assembly Quality and Clear Elements

Transparent components recreate the Hyper Beam Sword blade and cockpit, offering opportunities for advanced painting and finishing. Part fit is generally accurate, which reduces time spent on remedial sanding and filling.

Practical Modelling Advice

Emphasise panel shading to bring out surface detail, and protect clear parts with a gloss finish to keep them looking pristine. Fine sanding and proper masking will pay off when applying detail paint and decals.

The Bandai 1/144 HG Gundam Double X is ideal for modellers seeking a balanced mix of assembly challenge and display options. Its clear parts and deployable armaments make it a rewarding project.
