Building Bandai 5058172 Gundam Barbatos 1/100

The Bandai 5058172 1/100 Gundam Barbatos model kit delivers an engaging build that recreates a standout mobile suit from Iron-Blooded Orphans. The kit emphasises clean part separation and thoughtful engineering to produce lifelike poses and reliable structure once assembled.

Movement and Part Separation

Engineered for wide articulation, this Barbatos frame allows smooth joint travel while holding poses securely. Distinct part separation improves the assembled silhouette and reduces the need for heavy painting to achieve a polished look.

Difficulty Level and Tools

This kit sits at a moderate build level, suited to hobbyists with some kit experience. A basic set of tools such as side cutters, a hobby knife and sanding sticks will make panel cleanup and fitment much easier.

Paint and Finishing Tips

For extra realism, light sanding of seam lines and targeted panel lining brings out surface detail. Applying the supplied decals and a clear topcoat will protect markings and give the model a finished appearance.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/100
  • Grade: Full Mechanics

This Gundam Barbatos 1/100 kit is a satisfying project for builders who value articulation and precise part fit. It suits fans who want a display-ready model without extreme custom work.

A focused build can take a few evenings for an intermediate modeller; expect longer if you plan to sand, panel line and apply decals carefully.
Bandai usually offers parts support through authorised dealers. Keep the runner numbers handy and contact the retailer if small pieces are missing.
Acrylics and enamel washes are common choices; thin coats and patience produce the best finish. Use compatible primers on any exposed plastic for even coverage.
If joints loosen, a tiny application of clear nail varnish or a thin CA glue dab can increase friction. Test on spare parts before treating visible joints.
