Bandai 5060363 - 1/144 HG Seed R16 M1 Astray Gundam Model Kit - Studio display edition  [B-5060363]

Overview of assembling the MBF-M1 Astray Gundam

The MBF-M1 Astray Gundam from the Gundam Seed series is a detail-focused High Grade kit that rewards methodical building. Bandai's 1/144 interpretation provides the Astray profile and a vivid red finish that displays well with minimal extras.

Parts quality and ease of build

The kit's parts are moulded to fit closely, reducing the need for extensive filing. Accurate colour separation cuts down on painting, and the undergate system helps produce neat results after runner trimming for a cleaner final model.

Pose range and joint reliability

The articulated joints permit a wide selection of stances while holding positions firmly. Shoulder rotation and leg articulation let you stage both dynamic action scenes and stable, upright displays.

Loadout and customising advice

Included items like beam sabers and a shield give instant display variety. Builders looking to personalise the model will find the surfaces accept panel lining, decals and light paintwork without heavy modification.

The MBF-M1 Astray Gundam is a solid pick for experienced modellers wanting a poseable, clean-building High Grade kit with straightforward upgrade paths.
