Compact look at the SD EX-Standard XVX-016 Gundam Aerial

The SD EX-Standard XVX-016 Gundam Aerial, from the anime The Witch From Mercury, brings the character into a small-scale kit that still preserves key design cues. Bandai 5063031 is engineered to give both newcomers and seasoned builders a pleasant assembly session while staying true to the mobile suit's silhouette.

Assembly Tips and Build Notes

This SD release uses clever part engineering to simplify construction while keeping a high level of visible detail. Pieces snap together cleanly, with minimal sanding required for most joints. Gunpla fans will find the build flow straightforward and suitable for a relaxed weekend project.

Paint and Finish Observations

The kit shows effective colour separation that reduces the need for painting, especially in the blue and white panels. Applying panel lining will define the sculpted areas, and undergating helps keep nub marks low for a tidy final look.

Modding and Display Options

There is room for simple customisation like panel washes, small decals or a light weathering pass if you want to personalise the piece. The SD scale makes this model easy to integrate on a shelf or in a small diorama without taking up much space.

Bandai 5063031 SD EX-Standard XVX-016 Gundam Aerial is a solid pick for collectors seeking a quick, well-engineered SD kit that still rewards modest detailing work. It slots nicely into any Gunpla lineup as a compact, characterful model.
