Bandai 5065090 - FM 1/100 Aerial Gundam Full Mechanics Kit The Witch From Mercury - Precision Build Edition  [B-5065090]

Workshop guide for the Bandai 5065090 FM 1/100 Aerial Gundam

The Bandai 1/100 FM Aerial Gundam from The Witch From Mercury is a fine example of Bandai Full Mechanics engineering. This kit focuses on accurate part fit and wide joint range, delivering a rewarding build for modelers who take pride in clean assembly and detailed posing.

Joint range and how parts fit together

The Aerial Gundam stands out in the Full Mechanics range for its smooth articulation. Elbow and knee mechanisms allow expressive poses while maintaining balance. Careful part alignment keeps visible seams to a minimum, reducing the amount of finishing work needed.

Ready-to-build colour separation and finishing options

Out of the box the kit offers strong colour separation, meaning less immediate painting is required. Builders who prefer to custom paint will find the parts accept paint well. The undergating design helps achieve a neat finish with fewer visible nubs.

Assembly level, recommended tools and tips

Although classed as Full Mechanics, this kit is approachable for intermediate builders seeking a bit more complexity. Use sharp nippers, fine grit sandpaper around 800 to 1000 for nub cleanup, and a fine panel liner to bring out the kit's surface detail.

The Bandai 1/100 FM Aerial Gundam is a satisfying project for builders who enjoy precise fits and dynamic posing. It rewards patience and careful finishing with a professional looking result.
