Step by step with the Bandai 5057388 1/144 HG Gundam AGE-FX

The Bandai 5057388 Gundam AGE-FX is a 1/144 High Grade model that captures the styling of the Mobile Suit Gundam AGE series in a compact package. Its engineering makes it great for modelers who enjoy both display pieces and articulated action poses. The kit rewards careful assembly with solid results.

Movement range and construction notes

This kit provides a broad range of movement through well thought out joints, allowing dynamic poses while keeping balance. Parts separate cleanly, which helps for targeted painting and part swapping. The clear FX pieces add a dramatic visual layer to the Burst mode configuration.

Recommended tool list and build advice

Best suited to those at an intermediate skill level, the kit needs standard hobby tools: side cutters, a sharp hobby knife, sanding tools, and tweezers for fiddly bits. Take your time with nubs and test-fit parts before gluing or painting.

Preparing surfaces and final touches

Remove nub marks with gentle sanding and use panel lining to make mechanical detailing pop. Apply decals for accurate markings and protect the finished paint with a clear coat to reduce wear from handling.

Bandai 5057388 Gundam AGE-FX offers a rewarding build with dependable articulation and display potential. It is a good match for modellers wanting a sizeable poseable kit without excessive complexity.

Yes if you have basic painting gear. It is not overly complex but benefits from priming and careful masking to get clean colour separation.
Avoid sanding clear parts directly; mask and paint around them or use a polishing compound if minor scuffs appear. Keep fingerprints off with gloves or tweezers.
Popular upgrades include polycap replacements for stiffer joints, custom decals for unique markings, and paint accents on clear FX pieces to boost contrast.
Use display cases or dust covers and avoid leaving parts under direct sunlight. Reposition hands and weapons periodically to reduce constant strain on a single joint.
