Real Grade 1/144 Exia Repair IV — inner-frame and part separation

This is a Gunpla model kit produced in Real Grade (RG) 1/144 scale representing the Gundam Exia Repair IV from Mobile Suit Gundam 00, set in the Anno Domini timeline. The Exia design prioritises sword-based close combat, while the Repair IV iteration reflects battlefield repairs and refits. Those storyline elements translate into visible patched components and modular assemblies in the kit. The RG approach emphasises internal-frame structures, articulated mechanics, and separated armor to suggest a repaired and serviceable machine at small scale.

Assembly considerations and tool list

Difficulty rating: advanced. Builders will encounter many small runner pieces and linked joints requiring precise trimming and careful assembly. Recommended tools include side cutters, a sharp hobby knife, fine files or sanding sticks, and tweezers for handling delicate parts.

Preparation and final touches

For a cleaner finish, reduce seam lines with careful sanding before painting or coating. Typical finishing options include panel lining, light topcoat, and selective masking to accentuate areas that read as repaired or refitted.

The kit concentrates Real Grade engineering into a compact build, highlighting internal-frame articulation and split armor to reflect the Repair IV's patched and modified profile.
