Bandai 5055613 - HGUC 1/144 RX-93 Nu Gundam Metallic Coating Model Kit - Shimmer Finish HG  [B-5055613]

Building the RX-93 Nu Gundam with a Metallic Coating

The Bandai 5055613 - HGUC 1/144 RX-93 Nu Gundam Metallic Coating Ver. gives modelers a distinctive metal-look finish on a classic Amuro Ray unit from Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack. This High Grade kit combines detailed part separation with a factory-applied metallic sheen, making it a satisfying project for hobbyists focused on both looks and engineering.

Poseability and Assembly Notes

The kit offers wide poseability for dynamic displays, with shoulder mechanisms designed to swivel smoothly while keeping firm tension for stable poses. Assembly sits at a normal difficulty for HG kits, and basic modelling tools like side cutters, a hobby knife, and sanding sticks will help achieve clean joins and trim runners.

Surface Prep and Finish Tips

The metallic coating produces a polished surface that hides many seam lines, reducing the need for heavy painting. Builders who want extra visual depth can add panel lining, waterslide or dry-transfer decals, and a light protective topcoat to preserve the metallic effect.

As an HGUC release, the RX-93 Nu Gundam Metallic Coating Ver. balances attractive presentation and functional engineering, making it a standout piece for collectors and builders who appreciate metallic finishes.
