Pro tips for assembling the Bandai HGBF 1/144 Gundam Fenice Rinascita

This Gundam Fenice Rinascita, from the Build Fighters line, is a High Grade kit that rewards experienced Gunpla builders. The kit balances dynamic styling and solid engineering, delivering a satisfying assembly process and plenty of scope for personal touches.

Fit, articulation and colour separation

The model offers strong colour separation, so it looks impressive even before painting. Articulation is well considered, allowing for expressive poses. The kit uses undergating which helps reduce visible nub marks, and parts generally slot together with good precision so you will spend less time fussing with fit issues.

Customisation paths for seasoned modellers

If you enjoy modifying kits, the Gundam Fenice Rinascita is forgiving to disassembly for paintwork and detailing. You can try alternate colour schemes, add waterslide decals, or use panel lining to bring out the mechanical detail. The structure supports common aftermarket changes without extensive reengineering.

Workshop tips to get a clean finish

Use 800 to 1000 grit sandpaper to smooth nub marks. When painting, prime ABS parts with a primer suitable for plastics to improve adhesion, particularly for airbrush work. For tight paint edges on areas like the chest, flexible masking tape helps prevent bleed and keeps lines crisp.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/144
  • Grade: High Grade (HG)
  • Build Level: Advanced

Overall, this Bandai High Grade kit is a strong choice for experienced builders who value clean engineering, good colour separation, and room for custom detailing to make a standout display piece.

This is classed as an advanced build. Beginners can attempt it but should be comfortable with nippers, sanding and simple paint techniques or start with easier HG kits first.
At minimum have quality side cutters, a hobby knife, sanding pads in multiple grits, and tweezers. An airbrush or spray can helps for smooth paint work but is optional.
Panel liners or thin washes work well. Apply carefully into recessed lines and clean excess with a cotton bud dampened with enamel thinner or a specialised cleaner for best results.
Lightly scuff ABS surfaces and use a primer formulated for plastics to ensure paint adhesion. Avoid heavy solvents that can damage the plastic.
