Bandai 5059249 - HGUC 1/144 GM Sniper II Builder Edition  [B-5059249]

Build Focus and Accuracy for the HGUC 1/144 GM Sniper II

The Bandai 5059249 - HGUC 1/144 GM Sniper II sits strong in the High Grade Universal Century lineup, giving builders a faithful recreation of the GM Sniper II seen in Mobile Suit Gundam 0080. The kit highlights the mobile suit's long-range role with clean lines and parts that translate well into precise display poses.

Poseability and Fine Detail

Parts are separated to allow crisp panel definition and a wide range of motion for dynamic stances. The visor mechanism is modelled to open and close smoothly, letting you recreate scanning or firing poses. Together with the included weapons and hands, the kit supports varied presentation styles on a shelf or diorama.

Assembly Level and Helpful Tools

This kit sits at a moderate build level and is best tackled by someone familiar with basic Gunpla techniques. A pair of side cutters, a hobby knife for trimming gates, and a set of sanding sticks will make achieving clean joins and smooth surfaces much easier.

Painting Workflow and Final Finishes

Out of the box the kit looks good, but panel lining will accentuate the armour detail and make the weapons read better at scale. Apply waterslide or decal stickers where provided and seal your work with a clear topcoat to protect the finish and give a display-ready look.

For builders who enjoy precision builds, the HGUC 1/144 GM Sniper II delivers satisfying articulation and an accessory set that supports long-range themes. It is a rewarding piece for any Gunpla collection.
