Bandai 5065112 - HG 1/144 Heindree Sturm TWFM #22 Compact HG Gundam Kit  [B-5065112]

Assembling the Heindree Sturm HG 1/144

The Heindree Sturm from The Witch from Mercury is a neat 1/144 HG that captures the series styling while remaining manageable in parts count. Its sculpted armour and distinctive lines offer approachable customisation points for modellers who enjoy both straight-builds and painted finishes.

Practical assembly pointers

This kit uses tidy engineering that keeps parts aligned, so careful trimming with nippers and a few passes with a sanding stick will yield smooth joins. Undergating is used in key areas to reduce visible nubs, which makes the finishing stage quicker. For enhanced contrast, a thin panel line wash and subtle drybrushing will help the sculpt pop.

Movement range and display posture

The Heindree Sturm gives good articulation for its size, enabling natural action poses and solid standing positions. Joint travel in the arms and waist is well balanced, so you can create dynamic stances without constant readjustment of the centre of gravity.

Personalising your build

There is scope for decals, small kitbashing parts and weathering to change the mood of the model. Its compact silhouette makes it easy to include in a multi-kit diorama or as a focused shelf piece, and varnish layers will protect your finish while bringing out paint depth.

The Bandai HG 1/144 Heindree Sturm fits well into a collection for builders who like to add subtle detailing. It is compact, well engineered and responds nicely to paint and weathering.
