Guide to building the Bandai Fake nu Gundam Armor HG 1/144

This Bandai Fake nu Gundam Armor HG 1/144 kit suits experienced modellers who value fine detail and clean construction. Originating from Gundam Build Divers Re:RISE, the kit mixes thoughtful engineering with parts that invite enhancement. The following sections outline build quality, modification ideas and finishing advice.

Moulding quality and fit review

The model exhibits accurate moulding and reliable fit that minimise corrective work. Colour separation is good, reducing the immediate need for repainting. Undergated parts help keep visible surfaces free from prominent nub marks after careful trimming.

Customising and paintwork options

Advanced builders will find many opportunities for modification. The panel arrangement and detachable components are ideal for experimenting with different palettes, metallic accents or subtle weathering. Flat surfaces are suitable for gradients and controlled airbrush techniques.

Recommended build workflow

Begin by cutting parts from runners with nippers, then use 400-grit to clean blocks and 1000-grit for a final polish. Apply an ABS-compatible primer for better paint adhesion. When working on assemblies such as the shoulder armour, use masking and low-pressure sprays to preserve crisp joins.

Specifications

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

For collectors and builders who want a tidy, customisable HG project, the Bandai Fake nu Gundam Armor HG 1/144 delivers a satisfying mix of detail and build quality.

It ranks slightly above standard HG kits in terms of detail and required care. Expect more small parts and finer trimming, so some previous builds are recommended.
Cut parts with good nippers, trim close, then use 400-grit followed by 1000-grit to blend the gate area. Undergates on this kit help, but careful finishing is still key.
Panel line after priming and base colour, then protect it with a clear topcoat. If using enamel washes, seal with a gloss coat first to prevent unwanted staining.
