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.

Specifications

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

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.

Whilst classed as HG, the kit has some intricate sections; novice modellers can complete it but should expect to work carefully around the reflector panels and clear parts.
Use light coats, avoid aggressive sanding, and apply a gloss sealer before handling; water-based paints are less likely to cause clouding.
Compatibility varies, but many HG parts share similar joint sizes; check part fit carefully before committing to cuts or swaps.
A combination of flat topcoat on armour and gloss on clear components often yields a display finish that resembles on-screen appearances.
