Bandai 5057928 - HG 1/144 GN-003 Gundam Kyrios Model Kit - agile HG kit for custom painting and display  [B-5057928]

Building the HG 1/144 Gundam Kyrios: what to expect

The Bandai HG 1/144 Gundam Kyrios is a compact but expressive kit that recreates the mobile suit from Gundam 00. Its transformation capability and sporty silhouette make it popular with builders who like action poses and custom paint work.

Part fit and color accuracy

The kit benefits from thoughtful color separation that reduces masking. Orange and white panels sit cleanly on the sprues, and the part fit helps minimise visible seams after assembly.

Practical tips from experienced builders

• Start by trimming nubs with precise nippers, then sand with 400-grit and finish with 800-grit for a refined look.
• Prime ABS areas before applying acrylics, using a primer formulated for plastic to avoid peeling.
• Add panel wash to recessed lines to boost contrast and reveal mechanical details.

Articulation and custom work

Designed to move, the HG 1/144 Gundam Kyrios supports expressive displays. Modders can experiment with decal placement, subtle weathering, or minor kitbashing to personalise the final model.

The HG 1/144 Gundam Kyrios from Bandai offers a great mix of transformability and clean engineering, making it suitable for hobbyists who want to practise finishing techniques while retaining strong display potential.
