Building the Moon Gundam: Practical Notes for 1/144 HG Modelers

The Bandai 1/144 HG Moon Gundam is a compelling entry in the High Grade line, aimed at hobbyists who enjoy detailed assembly. Based on the Mobile Suit Moon Gundam manga, the kit balances accurate styling with parts engineered for clean builds. Below we cover aspects that matter to modelers looking to add a technical but rewarding kit to their shelf.

Fit, Molding and Color Separation

This kit stands out for precise molding and clear color separation, which lowers the need for heavy painting. Molded hues track well with the source design, and undergating is used on several pieces to reduce visible nubs. Part fit is generally snug, so you can expect neat joins with only minimal sanding in most areas.

Assembly Challenge and Modding Potential

Although it is an HG kit, the Moon Gundam leans toward a more involved build and suits modellers with some prior experience. The psycho plate elements add display versatility and encourage creative posing. If you want to personalise the kit, it takes paint, panel lining, and subtle weathering well without extensive reworking.

For builders who value accurate tooling and a moderately technical assembly, the Bandai 1/144 HG Moon Gundam offers both visual fidelity and room for custom work. It is a solid pick for a collection of High Grade suits.
