The Bandai HG 1/144 Shiranui Akatsuki Gundam Seed No.38 is a High Grade release that combines a striking metallic appearance with thoughtfully engineered parts. It appeals to builders who value a neat out-of-the-box presentation and room for refinement.

Contents and runner organisation explained

Inside the box the runners are arranged for efficient assembly and neat trimming. Colour separation across the components is effective, which reduces the need for extensive repainting. The gold-plated components provide a distinct metallic sheen that enhances the overall look.

The kit demonstrates solid part fit and requires only minimal cleanup. Articulation delivers a satisfying range of movement while maintaining balance. The undergating style helps keep visible nub marks to a minimum for cleaner surfaces.

Finishing and upgrade suggestions for skilled builders

Skilled builders can apply fine panel washes and selective matt or gloss coats to accentuate details. Prioritise priming ABS parts for reliable paint adhesion and consider reinforcing connection points when adding heavier aftermarket parts.

In summary, the Bandai HG 1/144 Shiranui Akatsuki Gundam Seed No.38 offers a pleasing balance of show-ready finish and solid build engineering, making it a worthwhile kit for collectors and customisers.
