Bandai 5057990 - SD Gundam Astray Gold Frame Collector Kit  [B-5057990]

Compact SD Gundam Astray Gold Frame for Builders

The Bandai 5057990 - SD Gundam Astray Gold Frame model kit delivers a rewarding build for both new hobbyists and experienced modellers. From the Gundam SEED Astray series, the kit captures the Gold Frame in a small SD silhouette while keeping crisp molded details fans expect.

Styling and Joint Movement

The Gold Frame stands out with its metallic gold dominant panels, contrasted by black and red components that define its bold silhouette. In spite of the SD proportions, the kit offers surprisingly good articulation, with flexible shoulder and elbow joints that let you pose it expressively on display bases or dioramas.

Assembly Level and Useful Tools

Built to be approachable, this kit suits beginners yet still appeals to advanced builders who want a quick project. Standard modelling tools such as side cutters, a hobby knife and sanding sticks will cover the essential trimming and cleanup required for neat seams.

Finishing Tips: Sanding, Panel Lines and Decals

To lift the kit visually, perform light sanding on nubs and use panel lining to add depth to the panels. Waterslide or sticker decals and a protective topcoat will sharpen the Gold Frame's finish and help preserve painted or detailed work.

With straightforward assembly and eye-catching styling, the SD Gundam Astray Gold Frame makes a neat display piece and a satisfying, quick build for a growing collection.
