Intro to the HG 1/144 Unicorn Gundam painting kit

The Bandai 5061056 HG 1/144 The Gundam Base Limited Unicorn Gundam Painting Model Kit is aimed at model builders who want full control over paint and finish. With plain-colour runners and undergated parts, the kit is designed to be customised from the ground up.

Key features that help paintwork

Because this is a High Grade 1/144 model, the parts feature clear definition while staying easy to handle. The neutral plastic lets colours read accurately, so your chosen paints look true after one or two coats, especially when using an airbrush for even laydown.

Practical prep and paint workflow

Start by cleaning and lightly sanding mould gates to remove any nub remnants. Primer is essential; choose one compatible with ABS where relevant. Masking and thin coats are preferable to heavy layers to preserve fine details and joint fit.

Options for customising and finishing

The kit offers a straightforward build that encourages personalisation. It takes well to panel lining, selective weathering, and custom decals. Builders can convert or kitbash if they want a more radical reinterpretation of the Unicorn silhouette.

Yes. The plain runners and clean panel lines make it ideal for testing colour layering, gradients and subtle weathering with an airbrush.
Use around 800 to 1000 grit for final blending after initial trimming. Start with a coarser file if needed, then finish with finer paper for a smooth surface before priming.
Custom mixes work well when you test on spare plastic first. Keep notes of ratios and thin the mix appropriately for the application method you use.
