Hands-on build notes for RX-78(G)E Gundam EX

The Bandai 5066701 - 1/144 HG RX-78(G)E Gundam EX is a concise High Grade kit that gives modellers a focused build session. It combines clear panel details with an assembly flow that rewards careful trimming and fitting.

Movement and visual layering

This release offers impressive articulation for its scale, enabling energetic poses while keeping parts aligned. Clean part separation enhances layered colours, which helps the model look finished even without extensive painting.

Recommended kit tools and approach

Typical modelling tools are sufficient here: nippers to release parts, a hobby knife for cleanup, sandpaper or sanding sticks for smoothing, and a pair of tweezers for small components and decals.

Painting pointers and decal advice

Light sanding around seams and a wash or panel line accent will define mechanical panels. Applying decals with patience followed by a clear coat will protect markings and give a consistent sheen.

A tidy High Grade entry, the HG RX-78(G)E Gundam EX suits builders who like a balance of detail and straightforward assembly.
