Bandai 5059249 - HGUC 1/144 GM Sniper II Scale Sniper Kit  [B-5059249]

Kit Overview and Sniper Role

The Bandai 5059249 - HGUC 1/144 GM Sniper II reproduces the tactical silhouette from Mobile Suit Gundam 0080 with clear part definition and a focus on long-range combat aesthetics. This HGUC release is suited to builders aiming for faithful small-scale representations.

Movement and Panel Work

Thoughtful joint placement gives a useful range of motion for kneeling and aiming poses, while separate armour pieces make panel painting and lining straightforward. The head visor mechanism is modelled for simple operation, adding realism to scout or firing poses.

Skill Level and Recommended Kit

This kit is best for hobbyists who have completed a few Gunpla builds. Basic kit tools like nippers, a craft knife, and medium-grit sanding pads will help remove mould lines and tidy connection points.

Finishing Tips for Model Makers

Panel lining will lift the small details and weathering can add depth if you prefer a combat-worn look. Fit decals carefully and finish with a satin or flat topcoat depending on the display style you want.

The HGUC 1/144 GM Sniper II is a compact, detail-friendly kit that rewards careful assembly and finishing, making it a solid pick for dedicated small-scale displays.
