Inside the 1/144 HG RMS-099 Rick Dias Assembly

The Bandai 176369 - 1/144 HG RMS-099 Rick Dias Model Kit is suited to hobbyists who want a compact, well-engineered Gunpla. As an HG entry, it captures the silhouette and key details from Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam while keeping parts count manageable. The design supports practical posing and clean presentation on a shelf or in a diorama.

Joint Performance and Detail

This kit has reliable joint friction that holds poses without extra modification. Limb articulation reproduces the distinctive gestures of the Rick Dias and lets you arrange both static and mid-action displays. Clear separation of colour-matched parts reduces the need for heavy painting for a neat out-of-box look.

Recommended Tools and Build Notes

Expect a moderate build that is friendly for newcomers who want to level up. Essential tools include nippers, a craft knife, and sanding files. Take your time with sprue cleanup to keep details sharp and assembly straightforward.

Painting, Panel Lining and Protection

Remove nub marks with light sanding, then use panel lining to define mechanical detail. Water-slide or dry-transfer decals add screen-accurate markings. Seal the model with a matte or gloss lacquer depending on your preferred finish to guard against wear.

Bandai 176369 - 1/144 HG RMS-099 Rick Dias Model Kit makes a great shelf piece for those who enjoy accurate 1/144 Gunpla with minimal fuss and good poseability.
