Bandai 5064888 - RG 1/144 Strike Freedom Gundam Deactive Mode Scale Model Kit  [B-5064888]

Introducing the RG 1/144 Strike Freedom Deactive Mode

The RG 1/144 Strike Freedom Gundam Deactive Mode brings Real Grade complexity into a compact form, recreating the ZGMF-X20A from Gundam SEED Destiny with a deactivated finish. Its small scale still offers layered detail and internal structure typical of RG engineering.

Movement and joint layout

Expect wide pose options thanks to engineered joints that mimic the mobile suit's natural motion. Careful part separation reduces visible seams, and the undergating design makes final assembly cleaner when trimmed correctly.

Skill tier and recommended gear

This release is best tackled by modellers who have completed a few kits before. Essential workshop items include flush cutters, a hobby blade for trimming, and a range of grits in sanding sticks. Precision tweezers are helpful for decals and small parts.

Painting workflow and decal advice

Lightly prep surfaces before painting and use panel lining to accent recessed details. The sheet of decals adds markings; consider sealing them under a satin or gloss clear coat to protect the finish and unify appearance.

This RG deactive edition is a neat, display-ready option for modellers who enjoy tight tolerances and careful finishing work.
