Getting started with the Bandai HG 1/144 Gundam Lfrith Solid Clear build

The Bandai HG 1/144 Gundam Lfrith Solid Clear brings a see-through aesthetic to The Witch From Mercury lineup that appeals to builders and collectors alike. This Ichiban Kuji prize release has clear parts that work well for subtle light effects and display-centric builds.

Fit, parts, and simple finishing advice

The kit's transparent components offer a fresh canvas for internal lighting and selective painting. Bandai's High Grade engineering keeps construction straightforward while still presenting good surface detail and articulation for posing.

Expect the clear pieces to require only light sanding to remove nubs. Using 600-grit paper on the seam areas preserves clarity while tidying joins. The thoughtful undergating also helps keep gate marks to a minimum.

Custom options and display notes

Builders can add tiny LED modules to accent clear sections or apply faint paint washes to bring out panel detail without obscuring transparency. Small decal accents also complement the translucent parts.

For display, position the model where light can play through the panels; a low-profile or transparent base keeps the focus on the Lfrith's clear elements and pose work.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/144
  • Grade: High Grade (HG)
  • Build Level: Normal

Bandai's HG 1/144 Gundam Lfrith Solid Clear is a tidy build that rewards modest custom work. It suits hobbyists who enjoy lighting mods or understated paintwork while keeping assembly approachable.

Yes, the HG grade and clear instructions make it suitable for newcomers, though LED installs and advanced painting do add complexity.
Work gently with 600-grit, keep fingers clean or wear nitrile gloves, and finish with a polishing step or plastic polish to restore shine if needed.
Small 3mm LEDs tucked into torso cavities or backpack areas work well; plan wiring routes through joints and test power before final fixing.
Water-slide and sticker decals can adhere, but consider a light gloss coat first to ensure even adhesion on transparent surfaces.
