Bandai 5060364 HG 1/144 Shiranui Akatsuki Gundam Seed No.38 Model Kit - detailed HG kit for hobby builders  [B-5060364]

Shiranui Akatsuki assembly overview for Gunpla fans

The Bandai HG 1/144 Shiranui Akatsuki Gundam Seed No.38 is a notable High Grade release that appeals to builders who enjoy clean builds and a striking finish. Its metallic accents and well thought out part layout reward careful assembly.

Inside the box: runner and part notes

Open the box to find neatly organised runners and parts that fit together with minimal fuss. The kit's colour separation is effective, so you can get a solid result without heavy painting. Gold-finished elements add visual flair and make the model pop on the shelf.

Fit, finish and articulation observations

Assembly yields tight fits and reliably aligned seams, so you should only need light clean-up. Articulation is well executed, offering expressive posing while maintaining balance. The undergating approach keeps visible nubs to a minimum for a cleaner look.

Personalising and upgrades to consider

For builders looking to personalise the kit, panel lining and subtle washes work great with the gold tones. Consider reinforcing sockets before adding aftermarket parts, and prime ABS areas before painting to avoid adhesion issues.

The Bandai HG 1/144 Shiranui Akatsuki Gundam Seed No.38 balances display-ready shine with solid build mechanics, making it a versatile kit for both newcomers and seasoned modders.
