Bandai 173901 - 1/144 HG Banshee Destroy Mode Gundam Model Kit  [B-173901]

Quick look at the HG 1/144 Banshee

The Bandai 173901 - 1/144 HG Unicorn Gundam 02 Banshee in Destroy Mode gives builders a compact but faithful representation of the Mobile Suit from Gundam UC. The kit highlights the Banshee's bold palette and a transformation sequence that changes its visual impact on the shelf.

Poseability and visual details

Articulation is engineered to support a wide range of stances, with shoulder and limb joints designed for action poses. The Destroy Mode conversion adds dramatic silhouette changes that improve display options without complex rework.

Assembly difficulty and recommended tools

This kit sits at a moderate build level suitable for newer builders with some experience and veterans who want a quick, rewarding project. Standard modelling tools such as side cutters, a hobby knife and sanding sticks will help achieve clean part separation and fit.

Preparing surfaces, paint and finishing tips

Although the kit looks good out of the box, light sanding, panel lining and careful decal placement will sharpen details. A protective topcoat preserves paint and decals for long-term display.

For collectors and builders who enjoy transformable kits with clear articulation, the HG 1/144 Unicorn Gundam Banshee Destroy Mode is an engaging addition that balances detail and build time.
