Bandai 5062172 - MG 1/100 Rick Dom Master Grade Kit  [B-5062172]

Building the classic Rick Dom in MG scale

The MG 1/100 Rick Dom by Bandai delivers a hands-on build that highlights the model's imposing silhouette and heavyset armor. Its well thought out part separation and internal joints give a satisfying assembly flow, making it appealing to hobbyists who appreciate authentic Zeon styling and robust engineering.

Pose range and stability

This kit is engineered for strong posing, with joints that balance mobility and hold. You can set the Rick Dom into aggressive stances without constant readjustment, and the shoulder and leg assemblies are built to support dynamic displays on a shelf or diorama base.

Skill level and recommended tools

Expect a moderate build complexity that rewards some prior model experience. Keep side cutters, a sharp hobby knife, sanding sticks, and tweezers on hand to clean up parts and fit panels neatly. Taking your time with seam work will pay off on this Master Grade.

Paint preparation and finishing advice

Out of the box the kit looks strong, but light sanding, panel lining, and careful decal placement will lift the finished look. Finish with a matte or satin topcoat to protect markings and reduce plastic sheen for a more realistic appearance.

With durable construction and authentic proportions, the MG 1/100 Rick Dom is a rewarding build for modelers who want a sturdy, display-ready Zeon suit in their collection.
