Bandai 5059155 - HG 1/144 Gundam Astaroth Model Kit Custom Builder Edition  [B-5059155]

Overview of the HG 1/144 Gundam Astaroth kit

The HG 1/144 Gundam Astaroth model kit brings a tactile build rooted in the Iron-Blooded Orphans universe. Its purpose-built frame is ideal for modders who want to swap components and tailor the silhouette, while preserving the signature look of the Astaroth.

Poseability and modular construction

Articulation is designed to support bold stances and action poses. A 3mm peg system runs through key areas of the body to give modders straightforward retrofit options, and the Gundam-style internal frame matches other Iron-Blooded Orphans parts for cross-compatibility.

Skill level and recommended workshop tools

This kit suits builders with some prior assembly experience. Keep side cutters, a hobby knife and sanding sticks on hand to trim runners and refine joins for a cleaner finish.

Preparing surfaces and finishing touches

Light sanding of nub marks and careful panel lining will accentuate the sculpted details. Apply waterslide or sticker decals as preferred, then protect the build with a clear topcoat to lock in the look.

For hobbyists who enjoy customizing and displaying posable models, the HG 1/144 Gundam Astaroth is a rewarding project that plays well with other Iron-Blooded Orphans kits.
