Build Guide for Bandai 5064093 - HGUC 1/144 Byarlant RX-160

The Bandai HGUC 1/144 Byarlant RX-160 is a well-detailed High Grade kit that suits model builders who value articulation and tidy assembly. Inspired by Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, the kit layout emphasises movable joints and distinct parts for accurate finishing.

Freedom of Movement and Presentation

The Byarlant RX-160 includes advanced articulation such as double-jointed knees and elbows for a wide pose range. Shoulder construction supports lifted and airborne poses, and the overall engineering helps maintain poses for shelf display.

Assembly Difficulty and Tool Recommendations

Rated as a moderate build, this kit is best for those with some prior modelling experience. Basic tools like side cutters, a hobby blade and sanding sticks will be enough for a clean assembly.

Tips for Painting and Weathering

Minor sanding and panel lining are recommended to enhance surface detail. Applying decals and a protective topcoat will refine the finished model, though leaving parts as-molded is also acceptable.

Overall, the HGUC 1/144 Byarlant RX-160 pairs solid construction with flexible articulation, making it a reliable choice for display-oriented collectors.
