The Bandai 5059250 HGUC 1/144 Unicorn Gundam 03 Phenex (Destroy Mode) reproduces the Phenex in a compact scale with a striking metallic gold scheme and engineered articulation. It is aimed at collectors who appreciate distinctive finishes and pose range.
The armored tails feature ball joint connections at each link, enabling independent movement for each tail section. This arrangement supports expressive, sweeping poses while keeping the model reasonably well balanced on display.
Classed as a moderate High Grade kit, it is best approached by modellers with some kit experience. Recommended items include side cutters, a sharp hobby knife and sanding sticks to tidy up parts before assembly.
Light sanding to remove nub marks improves the look of plated parts and helps panel lines stand out. Use a gentle panel line wash and finish with a protective clear coat to retain the metallic sheen.
With its memorable gold plating and flexible joints, the Phenex HGUC kit is a standout model that rewards careful assembly and finishing.
