Bandai 5066907 - HG 1/144 RX-160S-2 Byarlant Custom 02 Bande Dessinee Version Model Kit - Collector Series HG  [B-5066907]

Build Brief for Bandai 5066907 - HG 1/144 RX-160S-2 Byarlant Custom 02

This High Grade kit is designed with the experienced modeller in mind. The RX-160S-2 Byarlant Custom 02 faithfully reflects the Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn design language and rewards careful construction and finishing techniques.

Joint Mechanics and Posability

Articulation is a highlight, enabling expressive poses while maintaining stability. The shoulder assemblies and limb joints have been engineered to hold poses reliably, which is useful for dioramas or photographed displays.

Colour Accuracy and Fit Quality

Colour separation is well executed, so the kit looks coherent straight from the box. Fit between parts is precise, and undergating contributes to low-profile nub marks, helping modellers achieve a cleaner final surface with modest preparation.

Enhancement and Finishing Tips

The kit is receptive to a range of finishing approaches. Subtle washes and panel lining add depth, while targeted weathering can create a battle-worn character. For a polished look, use fine sanding and a clear coat to protect decals and paint.

Overall, the Bandai HG 1/144 RX-160S-2 Byarlant Custom 02 makes for an engaging project for hobbyists who enjoy poseability and surface detailing.
