Bandai 5066911 HG 1/144 GM II Desert Color Build Overview

The Bandai 5066911 HG 1/144 GM II Desert Color Ver. applies a desert camouflage palette to the classic GM II from Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam. As a High Grade release, it balances accessible assembly with enough sculpted detail to satisfy both new builders and collectors looking for a unique color variant.

Poseability and joint layout

This HG kit delivers dependable articulation that supports dynamic poses while keeping the model stable on display. The joint engineering allows for smooth action poses, and well-executed color separation means less masking or painting to get a neat result.

Assembly level and basic tools

The build sits at a moderate difficulty typical of HG kits. Essential tools like side cutters, a hobby knife, and sanding sticks are recommended to tidy sprue marks and seamlines. The instructions are clear, making the process straightforward and rewarding.

Finishing tips for desert schemes

If you want to lift the detail, try light sanding before panel lining to accentuate panel lines. The included optional decals add authenticity, and a flat topcoat will help lock in the desert finish for display or shelf use.

Overall, the HG 1/144 GM II Desert Color is a practical pick for builders after a desert-themed GM II with good articulation and minimal painting needed to achieve a clean look.
