Assembling the Gundam Barbatos 1/100 by Bandai

The Bandai 5058172 1/100 Gundam Barbatos kit brings a faithful representation of the Iron-Blooded Orphans suit to the workbench. Parts are engineered for good fit and the assembly highlights the machine-like detail of the original design.

Pose Range and Component Fit

With a focus on articulation, the kit offers a broad range of poses while maintaining part integrity. The separated parts help define the silhouette and reduce the need for heavy modifications to achieve a crisp result.

Skill Guidance and Workshop Tools

Rated moderate in complexity, this kit is appropriate for modelers moving beyond entry level. Essential tools include side cutters, a hobby knife and fine sanding supplies to tidy up the runners and seams.

Finishing Workflow and Decal Advice

To enhance panel detail, apply panel lining before placing decals. A light topcoat seals decals and evens out the sheen across different plastic textures for a consistent finish.

This Gundam Barbatos 1/100 is ideal for builders who enjoy mechanical detail and reliable articulation. It makes a strong centrepiece for a collection with modest finishing work.
