Constructing the Bandai 5060946 HG 1/144 Crossbone Gundam X1 KAI with care

The Bandai HG 1/144 Crossbone Gundam X1 KAI captures compact complexity in a High Grade package. It provides a rewarding build that stays true to the Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam aesthetic while offering scope for finishing and upgrades.

Assembly quality and detail notes

Builders will find robust part fit and minimal seam intrusion when the kit is assembled thoughtfully. Excellent colour separation helps preserve the intended look, and undergating keeps visible surfaces smooth and detailed.

Recommended preparation and painting tips

To tidy up connection points, sand progressively from 600 to 1000 grit. The ABS sections respond well to most hobby primers; many modellers favour Mr. Hobby Surfacer 1200 as a dependable primer. For crisp panel definition, use Tamiya Panel Line Accent Color on recessed grooves.

Options for customisation

The Crossbone Gundam X1 KAI is a flexible base for custom schemes and enhancements. Apply decals, subtle weathering or extra detailing to give the mobile suit a personalised appearance and narrative feel.

For collectors seeking a concise High Grade kit that takes paint and detail work well, the Bandai HG 1/144 Crossbone Gundam X1 KAI is a strong choice.

Most nub marks are modest thanks to undergating, but light sanding with 600 to 1000 grit will give the smoothest finish on visible areas.
Seal painted surfaces with a gloss clear before applying waterslide decals, then apply a final protective coat once the decals are set to avoid lifting or wear.
Yes. Washes, light drybrushing and pinpoint chipping are effective and easy to control at 1/144 scale to add visual interest without overwhelming the model.
Mixing parts is possible but may require minor modifications for fit. Test-fit and dry-sand contact points to ensure clean joins between donor parts and the Crossbone frame.
