Bandai 5061919 MG 1/100 Eclipse Gundam - Master Grade modelling guide

The Bandai 5061919 MG 1/100 Eclipse Gundam from the Mobile Suit Gundam SEED MSV range offers an intricate Master Grade build aimed at advanced modellers. The kit concentrates on true-to-design proportions and modularity, providing both display quality and a solid base for bespoke paint and conversion work.

Engineering the mode change

This model features an engineered conversion that moves from flight configuration into a mobile suit stance. The transformation is designed for repeatable action and presents a rewarding mechanical assembly sequence.

Compatibility with common striker and silhouette fittings lets you personalise the armament and profile with minimal modification, making it well suited to kitbashes.

Weapons, visual effects and presentation

Included are twin beam rifles and beam shield components with dedicated effect parts, plus clear shield pieces that add dimension to the arms. The kit also supplies alternative hand parts and a display pedestal for a variety of presentation styles.

Assembly quality and finishing recommendations

The MG 1/100 Eclipse Gundam benefits from good colour separation and accurate part mating, which reduces the volume of sanding and filling. The undergating technique helps deliver clean joins for painting.

Recommended preparation includes careful gate cleanup with 600-800 grit sandpaper and priming suitable for ABS to achieve a durable, even base for subsequent paintwork and detailing.

The Bandai 5061919 MG 1/100 Eclipse Gundam is a refined Master Grade kit that appeals to builders seeking transformation mechanics and scope for detailed finishing.
