Bandai HGUC 116 Sinanju 1/144 High Grade Gundam Kit  [B-5058813]

Workshop Notes for the Bandai Sinanju 1/144 HG Build

The Bandai Sinanju 1/144 HG kit is a High Grade model prized for its close likeness to the classic 'Red Comet' suit. The build offers a layered experience that will engage experienced modelers looking for detailed engineering and lively posing potential. With careful assembly it produces a display piece that highlights Bandai quality.

Articulation Detail and Pose Options

The kit includes independently mounted thruster components on the legs to widen movement and stance choices. The backpack mechanism opens and closes to support a variety of action poses. These features let builders reproduce bold scenes from the source material while keeping joints stable.

Engravings, Foil Work and Loadout

Carefully applied foil sheets and fine surface engravings give the Sinanju a textured, authentic look. The kit ships with closed fist parts for both hands and a loadout that includes a Beam Rifle with attachable grenade bits plus a Beam Axe that converts into a Beam Naginata, allowing multiple display options.

Finishing Advice and Part Prep

Parts are engineered to reduce visible seams, but for a pristine finish use 600 to 800 grit sandpaper to remove nub marks. A primer compatible with ABS plastic will improve paint adhesion. The generous undergating makes cleanup straightforward for painters who want crisp panel lines and smooth coats.

The Bandai Sinanju 1/144 HG kit suits builders after a detailed, poseable model. Its combination of articulation and engraved detail rewards careful assembly and finishing work.
