Hands-on guidance for the Bandai 5057383 - HG 1/144 00 Raiser with GN Sword III

For experienced Gunpla builders, the Bandai 5057383 - HG 1/144 00 Raiser with GN Sword III offers a constructive challenge. Taken from the Gundam 00 line, this High Grade kit balances precise engineering with options for modest custom work. Expect accurate parts, reliable joints and surfaces that lend themselves to panel lining and fine detail.

Precision fit and good colour separation

This 00 Raiser kit is notable for tidy part fit and sturdy joint design. The GN Sword III shows clearly defined colour blocks that reduce the need for full repainting. Builders who like to add subtle enhancements will find well-formed panels for washes, pin washes and fine lining.

Assembly notes and sensible upgrades

Although it is 1/144 scale, this HG kit has details that reward careful assembly. Pay attention to small pegs and hinge alignment during dry fits. The model accepts simple upgrades like replacement polycaps, metal screws for key pivots and basic scribing to sharpen panel lines. Airbrushing and clearcoating will improve the final presentation.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/144
  • Grade: High Grade
  • Build Level: Advanced

The Bandai HG 1/144 00 Raiser + GN Sword III is a rewarding project for builders wanting a technically solid High Grade with room for modest customisation and finishing work.

Yes. The kit's factory colour separation is clean and presentable for shelf display, but selective painting on small details will lift the look further.
Start with precision nippers, a sharp hobby knife for nub clean-up, fine grit sanding sticks and a set of tweezers for small parts. A small file set helps with stubborn seams.
Upgrading key joints with tighter polycaps or adding small metal screws at pivot points can reduce play and enhance pose holding without heavy kitbashing.
Use a fine-tipped marker or thin enamel wash for panel lines, then clean excess with a cotton bud dampened with enamel thinner. Keep lines tidy on recessed seams and armour panels.
