Bandai 126796 1/100 Gundam Astray Blue Frame Full Mechanics Kit  [B-126796]

Hands-on with the 1/100 Gundam Astray Blue Frame Build

The Bandai 126796 - 1/100 Gundam Astray Blue Frame kit delivers a hands-on assembly that rewards careful builders. With thoughtful engineering from the Gundam SEED Astray line, this kit highlights part separation and articulation that appeal to hobbyists focused on poseability and detail.

Movement and Pose Options

The Blue Frame excels in joint design, giving a wide range of poses that reflect the suit's nimble profile from the series. Shoulder and knee linkages allow smooth, stable positioning for dynamic displays.

Skill Level and Essential Tools

Rated as a moderate build, the kit suits builders who have some experience. Keep side cutters, a sharp hobby knife, and tweezers to hand for clean nips and accurate part placement.

Preparing Surfaces and Final Touches

Light sanding removes seam marks for a cleaner finish, while panel lining and careful decal application bring out the sculpted details. A protective topcoat will lock in the look for display.

For modelers with some kit experience, the Gundam Astray Blue Frame is a satisfying project that balances engineering complexity with strong display potential.
