Step by step with the HG 1/144 GM Sniper K9 - straightforward modelling walkthrough

The Bandai 5058790 HG 1/144 GM Sniper K9 delivers a neat combination of sculpt and functionality from the Gundam Build Fighters series. Its compact profile and included K9 companion make it a flexible subject for both display and light custom work.

Range of motion and colour split

Expect a good spread of articulation that supports action poses while keeping balance. The designers have separated key panels to reflect the original paint layout, which helps reduce painting for casual builders.

Recommended experience and kit essentials

This model suits builders who have completed a few kits. Useful items include flush cutters, a sharp modelling knife and a selection of sandpapers for smoothing parts after detaching them from the sprues.

Finishing suggestions and decal advice

Panel lining really brings out detail on the smaller scale. Use the provided decals or swap in water-slide options, then seal the build with a matte or satin topcoat depending on the look you prefer.

The HG 1/144 GM Sniper K9 is a compact, well-engineered kit that offers satisfying posing and good baseline detail for further tweaks.
