Assembly guide for Bandai 5057388 1/144 HG Gundam AGE-FX

The Bandai 5057388 Gundam AGE-FX in 1/144 scale is a High Grade kit that combines clean engineering with good poseability. Drawn from the Mobile Suit Gundam AGE line, this model suits builders who want a balance of detail and manageable construction. It works well on a shelf or in dynamic displays.

Pose range and design highlights

This HG kit stands out for its flexible articulation, allowing a wide range of stances while retaining stability. The joint layout supports expressive posing and the part separation makes it straightforward to prep for paint. Clear components emphasize the FX Burst elements, giving scenes a lively look when light hits them.

Skill level and essential tools

Rated at a moderate build difficulty, the kit fits intermediate builders and experienced newcomers who have some prior assembly practice. Keep side cutters for sprue removal, a hobby knife for trimming, sanding sticks for smoothing nubs, and tweezers for small parts to handily complete the build.

Finishing tips and paint prep

Light sanding where parts join reduces visible nubs and improves final paint adhesion. Panel lining brings out mechanical detail, and applying waterslide or sticker decals increases authenticity. Finish with a protective topcoat to even out the surface and protect paintwork.

Specifications

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

The Bandai 5057388 Gundam AGE-FX kit delivers a satisfying build with reliable articulation and clear parts that enhance display value. It is a solid pick for builders expanding a Gunpla collection with a compact yet poseable mobile suit.

Expect a moderate step up from beginner kits. Parts fit cleanly but require neat trimming and some sanding. If you already use cutters and sanding sticks you should be comfortable.
Yes, the kit includes clear pieces designed for the FX Burst look. Careful assembly and a bit of lighting or a clear stand will make the effect stand out.
Prime first, then base coat the larger color blocks, detail with brush or airbrush, apply panel lines and decals, and finish with a clear topcoat to seal everything in.
If joints loosen, try small shims, thin strips of plastic, or a bit of clear nail polish inside the joint to add friction without permanent modification.
