The BB299 Gundam Astray Gold Frame by Bandai brings the Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Astray aesthetic into an SD scale. Its gold and black palette is reproduced on moulded parts so the kit presents well without mandatory painting.
Despite compact proportions, the BB299 offers a surprising range of movement for striking displays. Joints are simple but reliable, allowing hobbyists to pose the figure with confidence while keeping the SD silhouette intact.
Rated easy to moderate, this kit is a good step up from entry models. A pair of nippers, a hobby blade, and some sanding paper will cover most building needs and speed up cleanup.
If you opt to paint, light sanding and careful masking will help achieve crisp colour transitions. Panel lines, decals and a satin or gloss topcoat will complete the look and protect painted surfaces.
For SD collectors and those exploring Gundam kitbashing, the BB299 Gundam Astray Gold Frame delivers a compact, satisfying build.
