Bandai 5061600 RG 1/144 Gundam Exia 15 Model Kit - Compact RG Exia for Modders  [B-5061600]

Hands-on assembly notes for the Bandai RG 1/144 Gundam Exia

The Bandai RG 1/144 Gundam Exia brings the Mobile Suit Gundam 00 silhouette into a compact, highly articulated kit. It appeals to modders who enjoy precision assembly and expressive posing. Below are focused observations and techniques to help you complete the build cleanly and tailor it to your style.

Small-scale engineering and poseability

This RG captures layered construction and joint range in a small footprint, allowing sharp poses while keeping accurate colour separation. That makes it a strong candidate for display straight from the box or as a base for light weathering and detailing.

Building tips from experienced modellers

Parts tend to snap together with reliable alignment, reducing the need for filler. Undergates preserve surface detail and are ideal for careful nub trimming. Use fine sanding and delicate panel lining to highlight recessed details without losing definition.

Personalisation and upgrades

The kit's modular layout makes it easy to try alternate weapons, add small styrene plates or apply custom decals. You can choose subtle surface wear or bold recolours; the Exia is versatile for both conservative and experimental builds.

Assembly workflow suggestions

Work methodically through runners and keep parts organised to avoid mix-ups. Use fine-grit sandpaper for nub finishing and do test fits before painting. Apply decals after a flattened topcoat for the best adhesion and realistic appearance.

For builders who enjoy detailed construction and customisation, the Bandai RG 1/144 Gundam Exia provides a compact but rewarding Real Grade experience with plenty of room to make the model your own.
