Blue Destiny Unit 1 'Exam' HG 1/144 - Gloss Injection Look

The Bandai 5055572 HG 1/144 Blue Destiny Unit 1 'Exam' offers a distinctive metallic gloss finish that lifts the standard High Grade appearance. This limited run is ideal for builders who prefer a polished look without committing to full paintwork.

Advantages of the Metallic Gloss Injection

The glossy injection lends a reflective quality that mimics painted metal, cutting down on visible seam and nub contrast. It is especially handy for modelers working with hand tools rather than spray gear, yielding a neat presentation straight from the sprues.

Assembly Traits and Movement

Engineering follows familiar High Grade practice with snap-fit parts and reliable articulation. Tight tolerances keep limbs from sagging, letting you stage action poses that hold up for display or photo sessions.

Detail Work and Aftermarket Tweaks

Panel lining and decal work bring out the panel breaks on the glossy surface. The parts are friendly to aftermarket additions and small conversions, allowing experienced builders to personalise the kit while preserving the metallic finish.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/144
  • Grade: High Grade
  • Build Level: Normal

The Blue Destiny Unit 1 'Exam' metallic gloss variant combines an attractive factory sheen with easy-to-manage assembly, making it a solid pick for collectors wanting a standout High Grade without complex painting.

Decals adhere well, but using a gloss topcoat or setting solution can help them settle on the reflective surface and reduce silvering around edges.
Light sanding and careful nipper work are still recommended to tidy part gates. The gloss finish conceals minor imperfections but neat trimming results in a superior final look.
Subtle weathering works well if applied sparingly. Use filters or panel wash techniques rather than heavy drybrushing to keep the metallic sheen intact.
