Bandai 5062016 - HG 1/144 Gundam Helios Custom Build Edition  [B-5062016]

Intro to the Bandai 5062016 HG 1/144 Gundam Helios

The Bandai 5062016 - HG 1/144 Gundam Helios joins the High Grade range as a model inspired by the Gundam Breaker Batlog line. Its design borrows elements like Freedom Gundam's wings to create a hybrid look that is friendly to conversion projects and custom detailing.

Movement range and model styling

Articulation on the Helios allows lively displays with stable joint locking for most poses. The inclusion of a double satellite cannon and several beam weapons gives variety to layouts. Thoughtful part separation reduces seam visibility on built models.

Skill level and workshop essentials

The kit is rated moderate and suits both hobbyists building up their skills and regular modellers. Recommended workshop items are nippers, a sharp hobby knife and sanding tools to clean nub marks and improve panel fit.

Finishing workflow and paint advice

Refining the kit with gentle sanding and panel washes will bring out engraved detail. Applying waterslide or sticker decals followed by a matte or gloss topcoat will protect the finish and complete the model.

The HG 1/144 Gundam Helios is a flexible kit that rewards thoughtful builds and creative paintwork, making it a good pick for modellers who enjoy customised outcomes.
