Bandai 5055886 HGUC 1/144 Gerbera-Tetra Kit Breakdown

The Bandai 5055886 HGUC 1/144 Gerbera-Tetra brings a classic 0083 mobile suit into a compact, buildable form. It emphasises the Gerbera-Tetra's streamlined shape and main thruster array while keeping parts count manageable.

Movement Range and Thruster Sculpt

The HGUC tooling allows for a wide range of movement across limb joints, making it easy to recreate tactical poses. Shoulder and rear thrusters are sculpted to mirror the animated design, while the Sturm Booster gives the model visual heft and balance.

Skill Level and Tool Suggestions

Classed as a moderate build, this kit fits intermediate hobbyists and patient newcomers. Recommended tools include nippers, craft knife, fine files and a pair of precision tweezers for trimming and positioning small parts.

Preparing Surfaces and Finishing Choices

To highlight the kit's recessed details, perform light sanding and use a panel wash or fine marker for panel lines. Decal application and a sealing coat will protect markings and enhance display quality.

With its faithful proportions and good articulation, the HGUC Gerbera-Tetra suits display shelves and small dioramas alike.
