Bandai 5059570 HGUC 1/144 Hi-Nu Gundam Model Kit No.095 - Detailed HG Assembly  [B-5059570]

Overview of building the Hi-Nu Gundam

This High Grade kit suits hobbyists who enjoy a focused modelling challenge. Taken from Char's Counterattack, the Hi-Nu's distinctive profile is faithfully represented and provides a rewarding build that allows for both straightforward assembly and deeper custom work.

Fit, finish and articulation

The moulding quality delivers good colour separation and tight joins, so minimal painting is required for a neat look. Articulation is well executed for this grade, with sturdy elbow and knee joints that hold poses reliably. Note that the kit uses undergating to help maintain clean panel surfaces after trimming.

Options for modification and paint

Ample flat surfaces make this kit ideal for experimenting with paint schemes, decals and panel effects. The included decals add useful detail, while light washes and edge highlighting will lift the sculpt. More ambitious builders can fit aftermarket metal parts or upgrade thrusters for extra realism.

Practical advice for a steady finish

Remove parts carefully with proper nippers and refine nub marks with 600-1000 grit sandpaper before assembly. Use a gloss base for decals and finish with a suitable topcoat to protect paint and transfers. Keep small bolts or clamps handy if you need to steady delicate joins during glue setting.

The Bandai HGUC 1/144 Hi-Nu Gundam combines reliable engineering with excellent scope for finish work, making it a worthwhile kit for collectors and modellers who enjoy refining details.
