Bandai 5059144 - HG00 1/144 Gundam Virtue Model Kit - Heavy Armour Edition  [B-5059144]

What to Expect from the HG 1/144 Gundam Virtue Kit

The Bandai 5059144 - HG00 1/144 Gundam Virtue Model Kit captures Virtue's hulking appearance from Gundam 00, emphasising the large GN Bazooka and plated armour. The kit uses well thought out part separation and joint design to deliver a satisfying build for modellers comfortable with medium complexity kits.

Movement Range and Structural Design

Despite its bulk, the Virtue model allows a good degree of articulation. Joints are engineered to hold poses under armour loads, and the shoulder assemblies give a useful sweep for dynamic displays. The outer armour can be removed to hint at the inner frame, but the Nadleeh is not supplied with this kit.

Recommended Experience and Workshop Gear

This kit is best tackled by those with intermediate modelling experience. You will want side cutters, a hobby knife, sanding sticks and tweezers to achieve clean joins and crisp detail.

Surface Work, Paint and Finish Advice

Clean up nub marks with gentle sanding, add panel lining to enhance the mechanical look, then apply decals and a protective topcoat. Painting small areas like weapon tips and inner frame details will lift the overall finish.

The Bandai 5059144 - HG00 1/144 Gundam Virtue Model Kit is a rewarding middleweight kit for modellers who appreciate rugged silhouette and practical engineering.
