Bandai 5072061 — HG 1/144 Gundam TR-1 Hazel Custom with Flying Unit Icarus  [B-5072061]

HG 1/144 TR-1 Hazel Custom with Icarus — compact, modular flight-equipped frame

The kit is a Gunpla model kit in HG 1/144 scale representing the Gundam TR-1 Hazel Custom with its Flying Unit Icarus. The design originates from Advance of Z: The Flag of Titans within the Universal Century timeline, where the TR-1 series serves as a line of experimental and modular support/mobile platforms used in varied tactical roles. In-universe, the Hazel Custom is presented as a variant configured for enhanced mobility and auxiliary flight capability through attachable pack systems; the Flying Unit Icarus functions as a dedicated flight/boost module. As a High Grade 1/144 release, the kit translates that narrative intent into a compact engineering package focused on part separation for the flight unit, articulated connection points, and modular sub-assemblies that reflect the mobile suit’s role.

Build complexity and tools

Difficulty: moderate. Construction follows common HG runner separation and joint fit practices. Basic modelling tools such as nippers, a hobby knife, and sanding sticks are adequate for routine assembly and fitting.

Surface prep and finishing

Optional finishing work includes light seam removal at visible joins and panel lining to bring out mechanical detail. The parts are molded in color; painting and clear topcoat are left to the modeller’s preference for the final appearance.

The HG 1/144 Hazel Custom with Flying Unit Icarus presents the TR-1 modular concept in a compact kit that highlights separable flight components alongside standard HG articulation.
