Build overview for the Bandai HG 1/144 00 Gundam

The Bandai HG 1/144 00 Gundam is a High Grade kit that blends detailed styling with straightforward assembly. It recreates the Mobile Suit from Mobile Suit Gundam 00 and offers a solid platform for display, posing and modest modification work.

Quality of parts and colour blocking

One of the advantages of this kit is its good colour blocking, which reduces the need for repainting to achieve an accurate look. Parts fit together precisely, and most seams require only light sanding. Applying undergating on visible pieces will help keep seam marks to a minimum for a cleaner final appearance.

Ideas for paint and detailing

The 1/144 scale is well suited to testing paint techniques like selective shading, panel lining and small decals. These approaches can elevate the finished model without the time investment needed for larger scales.

Recommended assembly practices

• Sanding: Use 800 to 1000 grit sandpaper to tidy up nubs while keeping molded detail intact.
• Priming: Select a primer compatible with ABS parts to ensure even paint coverage and long-term adhesion.
• Masking: For neat paint edges use thin masking tape or liquid mask on small panels.

The Bandai HG 1/144 00 Gundam is a dependable addition to any Gunpla collection, offering a neat balance of detail and customising potential for collectors and hobbyists.
