Building the HG 1/144 RX-80BR Black Rider

Design Details and Joint Performance

This kit stands out for its range of motion and carefully engineered joints, letting builders pose the Black Rider in lively stances while maintaining stability. Precise part separation gives depth to the finished model and reduces the need for extensive paint masking.

The RX-80BR Black Rider sits at a moderate difficulty level, appropriate for experienced builders and enthusiastic intermediates. Recommended tools include side cutters, a hobby knife and tweezers to ensure clean part removal and accurate assembly.

Preparation, Painting and Final Coats

The HG 1/144 RX-80BR Black Rider is a satisfying build that combines solid engineering with visual detail. It is well suited to builders who enjoy poseable High Grade kits.
