The Bandai 5062025 - HG 1/144 Gundam Barbataurus presents a dual-frame approach that creates a centaur-like chassis, blending familiar Barbatos traits with new structural ideas. Its layout invites customisers to experiment with kitbashes and alternate paint schemes.
The kit includes twin sword assemblies that can be reconfigured into a pistol form, and the clear components can be combined to form a large bow for ranged display poses. The tail blade features lead wire for flexible positioning in action scenes.
With a moderate difficulty rating, this HG kit suits builders who are comfortable following runners and trimming parts. Recommended tools include side cutters, a modelling knife and sanding sticks for tidy sprue removal.
Panel lining, gentle sanding and selective decals will emphasise the mechanical panels. Consider a flat or satin topcoat after weathering to tone down shine and create a realistic display finish.
The HG 1/144 Gundam Barbataurus is a creative platform for model makers who enjoy non-standard frames and conversion-friendly kits.
