Bandai 5057706 MG 1/100 Gundam NT-1 Ver.2.0 Master Grade Kit  [B-5057706]

Master Grade Gundam NT-1 - Articulation and Fine Detail

The Bandai 5057706 MG 1/100 Gundam NT-1 Ver.2.0 kit delivers a full build that appeals to seasoned modelers who enjoy both careful assembly and display-ready results. This Master Grade release revisits the classic Mobile Suit Gundam 0080 mobile suit with upgraded joint work and crisper surface definition to enhance any Gunpla shelf.

Articulation Tuned for Expressive Poses

The core advantage of the NT-1 Ver.2.0 is an improved joint layout that supports a wide pose library. Shoulder and elbow mechanisms rotate with controlled resistance, letting you stage action stances that reflect scenes from the series or your own dioramas.

Separated Armor and Clean Part Lines

Detailing is a highlight thanks to distinct armor panels and careful part separation. The kit moldings are precise, which reduces the need for heavy post-build work. Undergating is used to help keep visible nubs to a minimum for a neater out-of-box appearance.

Skill Level and Suggested Tools

This model sits at a moderate build difficulty, suited to builders with some Gunpla experience. Keep side cutters, a hobby knife, and sanding sticks on hand to streamline assembly and tidy connection points.

Painting Tips and Final Finishes

While the parts look strong without paint, adding panel lining and stickers lifts the level of realism. Light sanding before a topcoat and careful application of decals will give a more professional finish for display.

The Bandai 5057706 MG 1/100 Gundam NT-1 Ver.2.0 is a rewarding project for experienced builders who want a balance of posing potential and detailed presentation.
