Practical review of the Bandai HGUC 1/144 Baund Doc 235

The Bandai HGUC 1/144 Baund Doc 235 blends a recognisable mobile suit silhouette with tidy engineering, making it a rewarding build. Its bold color choices and distinctive form suit collectors who appreciate characterful High Grade kits.

Poseability and joint layout

The kit offers a wide pose range thanks to well-designed joint assemblies. Articulation gives lifelike stances while retaining balance for shelf display. Joint tolerances are well judged, offering both flexibility and solidity.

Factory color split and panel lines

Parts are moulded in several colours, so the Baund Doc needs minimal base painting. Panel lines are crisp and respond well to light panel lining or wash methods to emphasise depth across armor panels.

Assembly level and shop tips

Classified as a normal build, the Baund Doc 235 is approachable for hobbyists stepping up from entry kits. Undergating reduces cleanup; finishing with a sanding stick and a hobby knife gives a neat result. Dry-fitting sections before final assembly helps avoid alignment issues.

Showpiece and personal touches

When finished, this kit displays strongly among High Grade models. It also serves as a good base for simple weathering, contrast washes, or decal application to make the model your own.
