Detailed Real Grade interpretation of the Astraea Type-F

The RG 1/144 Gundam Astraea Type-F reproduces the mobile suit from Gundam 00 in a compact format. The red and black scheme and sharp armour lines are rendered through careful part design and separation.

Precision inner frame and smooth articulation

The kit features an engineered inner frame that supports wide joint travel while maintaining structural integrity. Layered components allow for expressive poses without compromising part fit.

Build level guidance and essential kit tools

Marked as a moderate build, this model benefits from prior kit experience. Essential tools include side cutters, a sharp hobby knife and sanding sticks to cleanly finish panels and remove sprue marks.

Final assembly, painting and sealing tips

Minor sanding before painting will enhance finish quality, and panel lining highlights recessed details. Applying decals and a protecting topcoat will improve longevity and presentation of the completed model.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/144
  • Grade: Real Grade (RG)
  • Build Level: Moderate

With fine engineering and strong poseability, the RG 1/144 Gundam Astraea Type-F is a satisfying project for intermediate modellers looking for a display-ready Real Grade.

What are the best practices for trimming parts?

Cut parts from the runner with side cutters, then trim the nub with a hobby knife. Finish with a sanding stick or file to blend nub marks into the surface.

How do I emphasise panel lines without overdoing it?

Use a fine panel line marker or a thinned wash sparingly. Wipe excess promptly and clean edges with a cotton bud dampened with enamel thinner for a subtle result.

Is this kit compatible with display stands?

Yes, the kit balances well on standard action bases designed for 1/144 scale. Mounting the model can expand posing options for aerial or dynamic compositions.

What should beginners know before attempting this kit?

Beginners should start with basic tools and take their time when trimming and snapping parts. Practice on a smaller HG kit first if you are new to Real Grade complexity.
