Overview of the Commander Type HG release

The HG 1/144 Messer Type-F02 (Commander Type) from Bandai brings the Hathaway mobile suit into High Grade form, reproducing its unique profile and loadout. The kit suits collectors and modellers who value accurate outlines and usable weapon options.

Articulation design and stability

This kit delivers a capable articulation scheme designed to support expressive poses. The shoulder and knee mechanisms move cleanly while keeping the figure upright during display. Part separation improves visual complexity without obvious seam clutter.

Difficulty rating and tool suggestions

Classed as a moderate build, this kit works well for hobbyists who have completed a few models. Recommended equipment includes side cutters, a sharp hobby knife, and tweezers to tidy small components effectively.

Prep work and finishing recommendations

Clean up nub marks with gentle sanding to prepare parts for paint. Use panel lining to make recesses pop and a topcoat to protect paint and decals for long-term display durability.

The Messer Type-F02 Commander Type is a solid High Grade kit that balances poseability and detail, making it a worthy addition to any Universal Century collection.
