The Bandai 5058785 HG 1/144 Gundam Harute brings the GN-011 into miniature form with a transformation mechanism and crisp moulding. As a High Grade release from Mobile Suit Gundam 00, it provides a balance of detail and approachable build steps for modellers.
Arm and shoulder joints are designed for a range of stances, giving good poseability for dynamic displays. The separated panels make it straightforward to apply panel washes and selective painting for added depth.
Builders should have basic modelling tools on hand such as nippers, a hobby blade, sanding sticks and a set of files. Taking time to clean up nubs will significantly improve part fit and finish.
Panel lining and decals help accentuate the kit's sculpted details, while a matte or satin topcoat will protect paint and decals and give a consistent finish across the model.
For modellers who enjoy transformable kits with solid articulation, the HG Gundam Harute offers a rewarding project with good display potential and customising options.
