Bandai 176369 - 1/144 HG RMS-099 Rick Dias Model Kit - Detailed Poseable Kit  [B-176369]

A Closer Look at the 1/144 HG RMS-099 Rick Dias

The Bandai 176369 - 1/144 HG RMS-099 Rick Dias Model Kit reproduces the Rick Dias silhouette from Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam in tidy 1/144 scale. The kit balances authentic proportions with a user-friendly parts layout to make assembly efficient while preserving character details. Its construction supports both shelf display and light custom work.

Mobility and Sculpt

This HG offers consistent joint action that holds poses without extra friction mods. The limb geometry reflects the original machine, enabling convincing action stances and composed display positions. Split-colour parts reduce paint demands for builders after a neat straight-build result.

Build Complexity and Recommended Gear

Rated as a moderate build, the kit is suitable for modellers refining their technique. Essential kit includes nippers, a hobby knife, and sanding supplies. Work in small sub-assemblies to keep alignment accurate and reduce cleanup later.

Preparation, Lining and Sealing

Careful sanding removes nub scars and primes surfaces for paint. Use panel lining to make small mechanical details pop, and secure decals with a clear spray. A final varnish will protect your finish and help decals sit flush.

Bandai 176369 - 1/144 HG RMS-099 Rick Dias Model Kit is a rewarding 1/144 HG for collectors who want an authentic Zeta-era mobile suit with sensible build demands.
