Overview of the HG 1/144 Banshee release

The Bandai 173901 - 1/144 HG Unicorn Gundam 02 Banshee in Destroy Mode recreates the Mobile Suit's aggressive lines in a small footprint. It captures the series styling and includes a mode change that alters the model's look for display variety.

Movement range and sculpt

The kit offers well-considered articulation allowing expressive poses, with shoulder and limb joints giving a wide arc of motion. The Destroy Mode reveals additional sculpted elements that increase the model's display presence.

Skill level and workshop essentials

Rated moderate in build complexity, this kit suits hobbyists moving beyond entry-level models. Keep side cutters, a modeling knife and sanding tools on hand to tidy up runners and seams.

Tips for painting and weathering

While optional, painting and panel lining add depth to the kit's details. Decals and a light topcoat will help unify the colours and protect any painted surfaces from handling wear.

Specifications

The HG 1/144 Unicorn Gundam Banshee Destroy Mode is a compact build that rewards careful finishing and offers a dramatic alternate mode for display rotations.

Yes, beginners with patience can complete this kit; starting with simpler HG kits first will help familiarise you with common techniques.
This snap-fit kit does not require glue, but cyanoacrylate can be used for securing small loose parts if desired.
Cut parts slightly away from the runner, then trim and sand the nub down progressively with fine files or sanding sticks for a smooth finish.
