Assembling the Bandai 5060946 HG 1/144 Crossbone Gundam X1 KAI with precision

The Bandai HG 1/144 Crossbone Gundam X1 KAI celebrates the refined engineering High Grade fans expect. This kit balances compact proportions with sharp detail, offering an engaging build for modellers who enjoy recreating the mobile suit from Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam.

Fit, finish and part quality

Experienced builders will appreciate the Crossbone Gundam X1 KAI for its accurate part fit and limited visible seams, which help achieve a tidy final look without excessive filler work. Colour separation is strong, and undergating preserves detail on exposed faces, cutting down on post-build cleanup.

Workshop tips for a cleaner result

For best results on nub removal, start with 600 grit and work up to 1000 grit sandpaper to smooth gates. The kit contains ABS sections that take most primers well; many modellers recommend Mr. Hobby Surfacer 1200 as a reliable primer base. Tamiya Panel Line Accent Color works well to define panel lines on the darker armour parts.

Personalising your Crossbone

The Crossbone Gundam X1 KAI is well suited to custom paint schemes and extra detailing. Aftermarket decals and selective weathering can add depth and narrative to the model, making the suit appear lived in and combat tested.

The Bandai HG 1/144 Crossbone Gundam X1 KAI is ideal for builders who want a compact kit with solid engineering and scope for creative finishing.
