How the RG Crossbone X1 is Built

Bandai's Real Grade series places complex mechanisms into a small footprint, and the Crossbone Gundam X1 demonstrates that approach. The kit reflects the Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam title with carefully split parts and engineering that supports expressive posing for shelf displays.

Joint Design and Visual Fidelity

The Crossbone Gundam X1 benefits from precise joint engineering that lets you recreate dynamic anime stances. Tight shoulder rotation and secure limb connections make it reliable in posed setups, while detailed part separation reduces the need for heavy paint work.

Recommended Experience and Workshop Essentials

Ideal for builders who have tackled RG or high-detail kits before. Keep side cutters, a sharp hobby knife, sanding files and a pin vise on hand to refine connection points and remove mould marks.

Finishing Advice for Model Makers

Subtle panel lining lifts the engraved details; decals refine insignia and markings. If you want a museum finish, finish with a clear coat after decal application to protect the surface.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/144
  • Grade: RG
  • Build Level: Moderate

The RG 1/144 Crossbone Gundam X1 is aimed at hobbyists who value compact engineering and poseable display models, offering room for modest custom work without overwhelming complexity.

Does the kit come with any clear or effect parts?

The release includes beam effect parts to help create dynamic display scenes.

Is this a beginner friendly kit?

Not really; it is better suited to modellers who have some RG experience due to small components and precise assembly steps.

What finishing steps give the biggest impact?

Panel lining and careful decal work yield the most visible improvement. A light topcoat unifies the finish and protects markings.

Can parts be swapped with other kits?

Some modders swap weapons or effect parts between similar scale kits, but compatibility depends on the specific parts and modifications required.

How should I store spare runners?

Keep runners in a dry, flat box and label them by kit to avoid losing small parts. This also helps if you plan future custom work.
