Reviewing the Bandai Uraven Gundam 1/144 HG for hobbyists and collectors

Originating from Gundam Build Divers Re:RISE, the Uraven Gundam in 1/144 HG form provides a tidy, detail-forward project for model makers. Its design aims to combine solid articulation with parts that respond well to cleaning and finishing techniques.

Part accuracy and joint performance

The kit shows precise engineering and sensible colour breaks that reduce the need for heavy repainting. Joints are engineered to hold poses reliably while allowing expressive positioning for display photography.

Detailing advice and preparation steps

With undergated runners, you can remove pieces with fewer blemishes to address. A sequence of sanding, primer and panel wash will bring out the engraved details. The build also invites modest mods for those who like to personalise silhouette or armour details.

Assembly guidance for various experience levels

Seasoned builders will appreciate the predictable fit, while novices should practise dry assembly to learn part locations. When airbrushing, trial primer on spare runners and use low-tack masking for neat edges on small panels.

Specifications

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

The Bandai Uraven Gundam 1/144 HG is a compact, capable kit that rewards careful finishing and makes a strong addition to any collection oriented around posed or customised models.

Yes, the colour separation is sufficient for a presentable display straight out of the box, though minor touch ups improve realism.
Start with 600 grit for obvious marks then progress to 1000 and 2000 for a smooth finish before priming to avoid over-sanding fine details.
Apply multiple thin coats rather than a single heavy one, keep the airbrush pass quick and parallel to the surface, and allow proper flash times between coats.
Decals at 1/144 are small but manageable. Use decal setting solution to help them conform to curves and seal with a clear coat once dry.
