Building the Gundam Vidar 1/144 HG with Focused Detail

The Bandai HG 1/144 Gundam Vidar brings the Iron-Blooded Orphans silhouette to a compact, approachable High Grade kit. It is designed to give model builders a satisfying mix of visual accuracy and mechanical function straight from the box. The parts layout and engineering make it a solid pick for hobbyists who enjoy careful assembly and display posing.

Colour Separation and Part Fit Quality

This kit is notable for its clear colour separation and well engineered part fit. Pieces lock together cleanly, which reduces the need for heavy modifications. Undergating is used in key areas to help keep nub marks discreet, so you can achieve a neat appearance with minimal touch up.

Articulation and Pose Holding

Gundam Vidar offers a flexible joint system that supports a wide range of poses. Elbow and knee articulation are particularly capable for a High Grade 1/144, and the joints hold poses reliably, which makes it easy to recreate dynamic stances from the series without frequent readjustment.

Workshop Tips for a Clean Finish

Newcomers to High Grade builds will find the assembly straightforward, while experienced modellers can add panel lining or paint for extra realism. When cleaning nubs, start with 600 grit sandpaper then refine with 1000 grit for a smooth surface. Tamiya primers work well on the ABS components in this kit when you plan to topcoat or detail paint.

Specifications

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

Overall, the Bandai HG 1/144 Gundam Vidar is a balanced kit that blends attractive styling with reliable build quality, making it a rewarding addition for collectors and modellers.

Assembly time varies by experience, but expect 2 to 4 hours for a clean snap-fit build without painting. Adding paint and weathering will extend the project time significantly.
Basic tools like flush nippers, a hobby knife and sanding paper are enough to complete the kit. Optional tools such as panel liners and a small file set help refine details.
The kit has good factory colour separation that looks accurate out of the box. Painting is optional and mainly used to customise or enhance shading and panel lines.
If joints feel loose, apply a tiny amount of clear nail polish or a drop of PVA glue to the joint pin, let it cure, then work the joint to restore smooth movement. This adds friction without permanent modification.
