HG 1/144 gMS-01 Gelgoog (GQ): compact late-war Universal Century frame in High Grade style

This Bandai 5072566 HG 1/144 kit recreates the gMS-01 Gelgoog (GQ) with an emphasis on segmented armour panels and a compact silhouette. The model reflects design choices intended to boost mobility and armament in late Universal Century mobile suit concepts, rendered here in a manageable parts layout for 1/144 scale builders.

Difficulty rating and tools to consider

Difficulty: moderate. The kit pieces assemble from multiple pre-moulded components with distinct seams and push-fit joints. Recommended items include nippers, a hobby blade for precision trimming, sandpaper for smoothing, and a fine panel liner to accent recessed detail.

Preparing surfaces and finishing tips

Surface prep is optional; common chores involve sanding connection points and touching up seams where panels meet. Optional finishes like panel lining, decal application, and a clear topcoat will refine the final presentation but are not mandatory for a complete build.

Overall, the HG 1/144 gMS-01 Gelgoog (GQ) delivers a compact, poseable kit that balances visible armour segmentation with user-friendly assembly for display and diorama use.
