Overview of the Bandai HG 1/144 Build Strike Gundam Solid Clear

The Bandai HG 1/144 Build Strike Gundam Solid Clear offers a transparent take on a popular HG frame that stands out on a shelf. Released as part of the 2023 Gundam Ichiban Kuji Prize E selection, this kit blends collectible appeal with a build that rewards careful modelling. Its clear parts make it an interesting display piece for collectors and hobbyists who enjoy showing off inner assemblies.

Clear styling and practical build tips

This High Grade kit presents the Build Strike Gundam in solid clear parts that reveal structural and joint details. The translucent components accentuate internal mechanics and benefit greatly from subtle panel lining and selective paintwork to bring out depth. Intermediate builders will find this kit a good platform to practise masking, lining and combining painted accents with raw clear plastic.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/144
  • Grade: High Grade (HG)
  • Build Level: Intermediate

As a compact display piece, the Build Strike Gundam Solid Clear rewards attention to detail. It is well suited to collectors seeking something visually distinct and to modellers wanting to practise detailing techniques on transparent parts.

The kit is rated intermediate. Most parts snap together cleanly, but achieving a refined look on clear pieces requires steady panel lining and careful handling to avoid visible seams or scratches.
Use light panel lining with enamel or thinned acrylics and avoid heavy coats. Masking areas and applying metallic or muted paints to internal sections can give contrast without covering the transparency.
Most HG kits are snap fit and do not require glue. If you want permanent joins, use model-safe clear adhesives sparingly to avoid fogging on transparent parts.
Essential tools include a good pair of nippers, a hobby knife, sanding sticks, fine brushes for lining and masking tape. A steady hand and patience will make the clear parts look their best.
