Bandai 5060652 HG 1/144 Gundam Astraea Type-F Collector Edition Kit  [B-5060652]

Compact detail on the Astraea Type-F HG kit

The HG 1/144 GNY-001F Gundam Astraea Type-F brings a distinct silhouette from Gundam 00 into a manageable scale. The kit's black and red finish echoes the original design while offering plenty of panel lines and mechanical cues for hobbyists who enjoy detailing work.

Pose range and finishing touches

Expect reliable joint movement that supports expressive poses similar to the anime. The shoulder and hip articulation allow for balanced action stances, and the included beam weaponry and rifles compliment the model's combative look for shelf or diorama use.

Assembly notes and handy tools

This High Grade kit sits at a moderate skill level. Essential kit-up includes flush cutters, a razor blade or hobby knife for trimming, and fine-grit sanding tools to remove sprue marks cleanly.

Surface care, paint work and sealing

Minor sanding and prep before painting yields a cleaner finish. Panel lining will accent the sculpted detail, and applying decals then a clear coat seals work while adding a professional sheen.

For builders focused on paint and detail, the HG 1/144 Gundam Astraea Type-F rewards careful finishing with strong poseability and accurate styling.
