HG 1/144 Cyclase's Schwalbe Custom - hands on guide

From Iron-Blooded Orphans: Urdr-Hunt, the Bandai HG 1/144 Cyclase's Schwalbe Custom offers a compact but detailed build. It suits modellers who enjoy precise assembly and want a platform that responds well to custom paint and small-scale modifications.

Precision engineering and fit

The kit demonstrates solid engineering with parts that slot together cleanly. You will typically only need light touch-up to remove attachment marks. Good moulded colour separation reduces the work required to reach an accurate finished look.

Modding and paint options

There is plenty of scope to experiment with panel washes, decals and small aftermarket parts. The undergating on many runners makes trimming neater, which helps when you are preparing parts for primer and paint.

Workshop tips for a clean finish

Use fine sandpaper such as 800 to 1000 grit on nub scars, and choose a primer that bonds to ABS for paint durability. When spraying small panels, masking with low tack tape keeps edges sharp.

The Bandai HG 1/144 Cyclase's Schwalbe Custom is a rewarding kit for those who like tight fits and options for bespoke finishing.
