Bandai 5062950 - HG 1/72 Mailes Reiki Kyoukai Senki Model Kit - Precision High Grade build  [B-5062950]

Careful build notes for Bandai HG 1/72 Mailes Reiki from Kyoukai Senki

The Bandai HG 1/72 Mailes Reiki from Kyoukai Senki delivers a focused build experience tailored to seasoned Gunpla modellers. The kit reflects KEN OKUYAMA DESIGN work and recreates the AMAIM [Reiki] with strong poseability and surface detail. Shiobe Zion's mecha is engineered for displayable articulation while retaining compact 1/72 proportions.

Articulation that supports dynamic posing

Articulation on the Mailes Reiki is a highlight. The verified movable joints allow clean movement across limbs, and the deployable large rear skirt plus rotating thruster units enable expressive stances. Builders will find the joint tolerances well thought out for aggressive posing without sacrificing stability.

Accessories for display and subtle customization

The kit ships with key accessories to boost on-shelf presence. Included are the super-heated halberd sword and a provisional taser launcher, plus multiple hand options and a decal sheet for small markings. These parts help recreate action poses and permit straightforward custom touches.

Practical tips to get a clean finish

To trim and finish parts, use 400-600 grit sandpaper to remove nub marks and avoid heavy sanding that removes panel detail. The plastic works well with hand paints or an airbrush; choose a primer suited for ABS to reduce paint lift. For panel lining, use a fine-tipped marker to accent recesses without overdoing contrast.

For experienced builders wanting a compact but intricate project, the Bandai HG 1/72 Mailes Reiki offers a rewarding blend of articulation and detail, ideal for posed displays and careful custom finishing.
