Bandai 5059570 HGUC 1/144 Hi-Nu Gundam Model Kit No.095 - Compact High Grade Build  [B-5059570]

Close inspection of the Hi-Nu Gundam kit

This HGUC release gives advanced hobbyists an involved assembly that highlights smart moulding and practical joint design. Taken from the Char's Counterattack timeline, the Hi-Nu silhouette reads heavy and purposeful. Below are the aspects modellers will find most useful when planning their build approach.

Precision moulding and articulation

Expect clean part separation and tight tolerances that reduce painting demands out of the box. Joint construction supports solid poseability, especially in the knees and elbows. The kit also employs undergating to leave cleaner surfaces after nub removal, which is handy for those aiming for neat panel definition.

Good canvas for paint and mods

A large number of flat armour faces offer scope for paint schemes and decals, and the supplied transfers enhance detail without extra purchases. Builders can apply subtle panel washes and highlight edges to bring out the sculpt. The kit also responds well to small aftermarket additions and subtle weathering.

Assembly advice for steady results

Begin by trimming parts carefully and sanding nubs with 600-1000 grit for a flush finish. Intermediate builders may try engraving extra panel lines or experimenting with different topcoats to control sheen. Keep spare runners for test painting and practise decals before applying to final parts.

This Bandai HGUC 1/144 Hi-Nu Gundam is a rewarding project for those who like a focused High Grade kit with real potential for custom finishes and display poses.
