Building the GP02A Type-MLRS: Tips for Modelers

The Bandai 5055730 - HG 1/144 GP02A Type-MLRS Gundam Model Kit gives hobbyists a faithful recreation of the GP02A from Mobile Suit Gundam 0083. This HGUC release highlights the machine's distinctive Multiple Launch Rocket System and delivers a satisfying assembly flow for experienced builders.

Design Highlights and Movement

This HG kit stands out for clear part separation and a poseable frame. Joint layouts in the arms and legs allow for expressive stances, while the MLRS backpack adds a strong focal point for display setups. Part fit and surface detail support clean panel lines and attractive built looks.

Difficulty and Essential Tools

Classed at a moderate build level, the kit suits builders who have completed a few HG kits. Recommended tools include side cutters, a sharp hobby knife, and a selection of sanding sticks for removing nubs and refining part edges.

Finishing Tips and Paint Notes

Minor sanding and panel lining will lift the kit's details. Applying waterslide or dry-transfer decals and a protective topcoat will improve contrast and provide a finished display appearance.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/144
  • Grade: HG
  • Build Level: Moderate

The Bandai HGUC 1/144 GP02A Type-MLRS is a rewarding kit for collectors who enjoy detailed builds and dynamic posing, offering a solid balance between complexity and display appeal.

For an intermediate builder working at a steady pace, expect several afternoons to a weekend for a standard build with basic panel lining. More advanced finishing will extend that time.
Acrylic or enamel hobby paints are suitable for base coats; Gundam markers or fine-tipped enamel washes work well for panel lines. Test colours on runners before painting.
Yes, the launcher is designed to be shown deployed or stowed. Use a stable base or action stand for dramatic angled displays to avoid stress on the joints.
There are third-party detail sets and custom decals that match HG 1/144 scales; check specialist retailers for compatible backpacks, weapons, and decal sheets.
