Gundam TR-1 Hazel Custom HG 1/144 — Bandai 5072061 with Flying Unit Icarus  [B-5072061]

TR-1 Hazel Custom HG 1/144 featuring a removable Icarus flight module

The kit represents a Gunpla model in HG 1/144 scale of the Gundam TR-1 Hazel Custom paired with the Flying Unit Icarus. Originating from Advance of Z: The Flag of Titans within the Universal Century continuity, the TR-1 series operates as a set of experimental, modular support and mobile platforms used in varied tactical contexts. The Hazel Custom is depicted as a variant optimised for mobility and auxiliary flight by means of attachable pack gear; the Icarus serves as the dedicated flight/boost module. As a High Grade 1/144 product, the kit translates these design intentions into a compact construction focused on separable flight components, articulated connection points, and modular sub-assemblies that reflect the mobile suit’s operational concept.

Construction level and tools

Difficulty: moderate. The build process uses conventional HG runner separation and joint fitting techniques. Standard hobby tools such as nippers, a hobby knife and sanding implements will cover most assembly needs.

Preparation for display

Recommended optional steps include light seam removal and panel lining to sharpen surface detail. The kit is moulded in colour so painting is discretionary depending on your display aims; a clear topcoat can help protect decals and painted surfaces.

Overall, the HG 1/144 Hazel Custom with Flying Unit Icarus offers a concise expression of the TR-1 modular philosophy with separable flight hardware and familiar HG articulation.
