Arios Gundam HG 1/144 Overview for Modellers

The Bandai 157480 - 1/144 Arios Gundam model kit delivers an involved build for enthusiasts of Mobile Suit Gundam 00. Its transformable design switches between Mobile Suit and Flight Mode while retaining clean proportions and impressive joint work, making it rewarding to complete and display.

Poseability and Mode Change

The kit features a well thought out joint system that gives a wide range of motion through arms, legs, and torso. Builders will find the transformation sequence engineered to hold each configuration securely, letting you recreate action poses from the series with confidence.

Assembly Level and Essential Tools
