Bandai 5061586 - MG 1/100 Gundam Exia Model Kit - advanced Master Grade model  [B-5061586]

Hands-on overview of the Bandai MG 1/100 Gundam Exia

The Bandai MG 1/100 Gundam Exia is a Master Grade kit that faithfully reproduces the sleek combat silhouette from Mobile Suit Gundam 00. It offers a focused build that appeals to modellers who prioritise articulation and accurate styling.

Precision fit and movement range

Parts are engineered for close tolerances so assemblies sit together cleanly. The limb and torso articulation provides a wide range of motion for fight-ready stances, while the undergating approach minimizes visible trimming marks during cleanup.

Stock finish and customising routes

Colour separation from the sprues mirrors the source material, and the clear GN parts lift the visual impact of the model. Builders can enhance the kit with washes, selective weathering and aftermarket details to achieve a more realistic presentation.

Practical building pointers

• Beginner Tip: Keep a parts organiser to avoid losing small polycaps or weapon pieces during assembly.
• Intermediate Tip: Use panel lining followed by a light matt coat to preserve detail while reducing shine.
• Advanced Tip: Replace certain plastic pins with metal rods for improved joint longevity when doing heavy posing.

The Bandai MG 1/100 Gundam Exia is a solid pick for experienced modellers seeking articulation and a faithful kit. With considered finishing it becomes an impressive display model.
