Building Notes for the HGUC 1/144 GM Striker

The Bandai 5060782 - HGUC 1/144 GM Striker Model Kit is a compact High Grade entry that rewards careful assembly. It blends accessible construction with crisp detail, so it appeals to hobbyists who enjoy tweaking fit and finish. The kit reflects the mechanical styling of the Universal Century era while keeping parts manageable for shelf display.

Articulation Highlights

Joint design on this GM Striker allows for convincing action poses. You can recreate tactical stances or more dynamic aerial sequences thanks to flexible shoulder, hip and ankle connections and secure weapon mounts.

Suggested Tools and Skill Level

Expect a moderate build. Essential items are nippers, a decent hobby knife, sanding files, and some masking tape for any painting. Those new to builds should take time trimming runners to avoid stress marks.

Painting and Decal Hints

Panel lining and selective painting will sharpen the kit's detail. Apply decals carefully, allow them to set, then protect the finish with a clear coat to prevent silvering and edge lift.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/144
  • Grade: High Grade (HG)
  • Build Level: Moderate

This HGUC GM Striker gives a neat mix of poseability and detail, ideal for modellers who value compact High Grade kits from the Universal Century series.

If you use sharp nippers and trim close to the gate, then finish with a sanding stick, you can avoid noticeable marks. Take it slow on curved parts.
The kit includes pressure-applied decals. For a cleaner look, many builders swap them for aftermarket waterslide decals or clear-coat them after application.
Standard joints hold typical kit weapons well. If you plan heavy custom armaments, consider internal pinning or lightening the weapon to reduce stress on connections.
A satin or matte clear coat usually suits Universal Century machines, preserving detail without too much shine. Choose based on the look you want and test on spare plastic.
