Assembly Notes for the Bandai HGCE 1/144 Windam No.232 5059227

The Bandai HGCE 1/144 Windam No.232 demonstrates the practical engineering typical of High Grade Gunpla. Based on Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, the kit gives a satisfying balance of accurate silhouette and manageable build steps for those who enjoy detailing work.

Quality of Moulding and Parts

Moulding is clean and parts register well, so you will see few gaps when panels are clipped properly. The undergate design reduces visible nubs and the kit's pre-separated colours cut down on the amount of priming and masking required for a tidy finish.

Customising and Articulation Options

The Windam is well suited to custom projects, with modular components that respond well to part swapping and aftermarket upgrades. Articulation is robust for a 1/144 HG, enabling lively poses and a variety of display options.

Practical Tips from the Bench

Trim runners close with sharp cutters, then smooth the gate with 400 grit and refine with 1000 grit paper. Apply a primer compatible with ABS before painting and use thin coats to avoid losing panel detail. Masking around vents and optics is easier with flexible tape.

Overall, the Bandai HGCE 1/144 Windam No.232 makes a solid project for builders who like clean assembly and the option to push into customised finishes.
