Bandai 5062196 - 1/144 RG Gundam 00 XN Raiser Model Kit - collector grade Real Grade build  [B-5062196]

Practical build notes for Bandai 5062196 RG Gundam 00 XN Raiser

The 1/144 RG Gundam 00 XN Raiser by Bandai demonstrates the Real Grade philosophy of detailed engineering at a small scale. Targeted at experienced modellers and display collectors, the build pairs the Gundam 00 body with the XN Raiser system to deliver precise mechanical detail and high poseability for shelf or diorama presentation.

Movement engineering and pose control

The kit's joint architecture supports expressive posing while maintaining balance. Key joints offer smooth rotation and secure holds, enabling a variety of action and flight poses that work well in a display case with minimal reinforcement.

Preparing parts and surface work

Well executed colour separation reduces the immediate need for repainting, and undergating helps keep visible seams to a minimum. For a cleaner, museum-quality finish, perform detailed nub removal, light sanding and panel lining to accentuate the kit's mechanical lines.

Contents and display flexibility

The included beam parts and supportive stand give the kit a range of display options. Whether you prefer static poses or dynamic mid-air setups, the accessory set adds flexibility and allows for modest customisation by experienced builders.

The RG Gundam 00 XN Raiser is a rewarding project for modellers who enjoy precision assembly and versatile posing. It represents a strong Real Grade entry for collectors focused on articulation and finish.
