Bandai 5055601 - HG 1/144 Gundam Astray Blue Frame Second L Seed No.57 Model Kit - compact High Grade for collectors and kitbashers  [B-5055601]

Overview of the Bandai 5055601 - HG 1/144 Gundam Astray Blue Frame Second L

The Bandai 5055601 - HG 1/144 Gundam Astray Blue Frame Second L brings the SEED Astray silhouette into a compact High Grade package. It blends toyetic poseability with precise part separation so builders can achieve strong out-of-box results or take it further with paint and decals.

Articulation and construction

The kit stands out for flexible joint ranges that support expressive posing while retaining stability. Thoughtful engineering and undergating reduce visible nub marks, and separate color-moulded pieces offer accurate tones without immediate painting. Key joints use durable plastics that tolerate repeated reposing.

Customising and finishing tips

Builders who plan to customise will find the kit easy to disassemble for paintwork or detail upgrades. Light sanding with 1000 or 1200 grit helps prep surfaces before priming. Use panel lining and selective washes to add depth without covering the moulded colours.

This Bandai High Grade offers a satisfying balance between build challenge and display potential. Its articulation and kitbashing friendliness make it a smart pick for collectors expanding a Gunpla shelf.
