Putting Together the MG 1/100 Gundam Age-2 Dark Hound - A Mechanically Rich Build

The MG 1/100 Gundam Age-2 Dark Hound is a Master Grade kit intended for modelmakers who appreciate complex assemblies. From the Gundam AGE storyline, this kit combines detailed moulding with an integrated transformation. Its distinctive pirate motif and articulated structure reward patient, accurate assembly.

Poseability and Flight Mode Engineering

Engineered to perform both as a mobile suit and in Strider Mode, the Dark Hound uses sturdy joints and well-designed linkages to maintain posability. Shoulder articulation and knee joints keep poses secure, and the wing binder components add scale-accurate flair to displays.

Recommended Experience and Workshop Gear

This kit fits builders comfortable with intermediate to advanced techniques. Key tools are precision cutters, a hobby blade and sanding files. Taking care during the more intricate stages of the transformation will reduce stress on small parts.

Painting Hints and Surface Prep Advice

To lift surface detail, lightly sand seam areas and use panel lining to define panel edges. Decals and a final clear coat will tidy up the colour separation and guard finished surfaces against handling.

For those wanting a transformation-capable MG with strong display potential, the MG 1/100 Gundam Age-2 Dark Hound offers satisfying engineering and styling.
