The Bandai 151007 - 1/400 Ptolemaios model kit from the Gundam 00 line delivers an engaging assembly for committed modellers. As an EX Model release, it focuses on accurate shaping and fine components that capture the Ptolemaios profile with engineered precision.

Part Separation and Molding Quality

This 1/400 scale kit uses careful part separation to reproduce the vessel's distinctive features. The molded components seat cleanly, reducing gap work and limiting the need for major alterations. Builders will value the finely defined elements that boost realism in the finished model.

Recommended Tools and Skill Level

The build sits at a moderate difficulty and benefits from patience and steady hands. Keep side cutters, a hobby knife and sanding sticks on hand for nubs and trimming. These basic tools are adequate for the bulk of assembly tasks.

Painting Prep and Final Coats

Light sanding around sprue points helps achieve a neat finish. Use panel lining to bring out recessed detail and apply the included decals for accurate markings. A clear topcoat will protect paint and decals for a more durable display piece.

The Bandai 151007 - 1/400 Ptolemaios kit rewards attention and careful assembly, producing a faithful representation of the Gundam 00 support ship that stands out in any collection.
