Bandai 5065301 RG 1/144 Astray Gold Frame Gundam Compact RG Kit  [B-5065301]

Overview of the RG 1/144 Astray Gold Frame Gundam

The RG 1/144 Astray Gold Frame Gundam from Bandai 5065301 recreates the characterful silhouette from Gundam SEED Astray with fine surface detail and plated accents. It appeals to modellers who prefer detailed, small-scale Real Grade projects.

Poseability and Colour Separation

This kit's inner frame supports dynamic posing while careful part layout gives effective colour separation without mandatory painting. Undergates on the gold pieces reduce visible cutting marks for a cleaner assembly.

Recommended Gear and Complexity

With a moderate build difficulty, this kit benefits from basic modelling supplies. Keep side cutters, a craft knife, needle files, and sanding paper handy for neat joins and crisp edges.

Finishing Techniques and Marking Tips

Panel lining can bring out recessed details, and selective sanding will prep surfaces for decals. Consider varnishing after decals to preserve the finish and add depth to the plated components.

The RG 1/144 Astray Gold Frame Gundam balances intricate engineering with a compact footprint, making it a rewarding build for hobbyists focused on accuracy and poseability.
