Bandai 5062172 - MG 1/100 Rick Dom Collector Edition  [B-5062172]

Assembling the MG Rick Dom step by step

The MG 1/100 Rick Dom by Bandai is a satisfying project that captures the mobile suit's mass and character. With clearly separated parts and a thoughtful joint layout, the kit reproduces the bulk and silhouette of the Zeon classic while remaining approachable for experienced hobbyists.

Joint mechanics and display options

The engineering supports a wide variety of display poses, with joints that offer firm resistance and good return to position. The design of the shoulder and hip linkages helps the figure balance well, making it simple to stage combat poses or static tableau scenes.

Recommended build approach and kit prep

This model fits a moderate skill bracket. Use quality nippers, a hobby blade, sanding pads, and masking tape for paint work. Dry fitting parts before gluing and careful cleanup of nubs will improve panel alignment and final appearance.

Surface work, painting tips and topcoats

While the plastic looks fine straight from the runners, panel lining, selective priming and layered painting will add depth. Decals and a protective clear coat will bring out details and help preserve paintwork under handling.

The MG 1/100 Rick Dom is a well balanced Master Grade kit that rewards careful assembly and finishing, making it a strong addition to any Zeon-focused collection.
