Bandai 5059166 HGAW 163 1/144 Gundam Double X Model Kit - HG Modellers Edition  [B-5059166]

Overview of the Bandai 1/144 HG Gundam Double X Kit

The Bandai 1/144 HG Gundam Double X is a standout from Mobile Suit Gundam X, crafted for modellers who like a technical challenge. This kit recreates Garrod Ran's second Mobile Suit with faithful detail and mechanical interest.

Movable Details and Display Tricks

The kit features movable reflector panels that open for display and twin satellite cannons that deploy into a dramatic firing stance. These gimmicks add realism but also mean you should assemble carefully to ensure smooth operation.

Component Quality and Clear Parts

Transparent elements form the Hyper Beam Sword blade and cockpit glazing, offering an attractive visual contrast. Parts generally fit together cleanly, allowing modellers to focus on finishing rather than heavy repairs.

Practical Advice for Better Results

Panel lining with a fine nib pen will bring out surface detail, while a careful gloss coat on clear parts improves their depth. Take time with masking when painting to preserve transparency and crisp edges.

The Bandai 1/144 HG Gundam Double X is well suited to modellers who enjoy detailed assembly and exhibition poses, making it a worthy pick for a growing Gunpla collection.
