Bandai 157737 - 1/100 MG Hyaku Shiki HD Color Model Kit Gold Master Grade  [B-157737]

Master Grade Hyaku Shiki - Elevated Display and Build

The 1/100 MG Hyaku Shiki HD Color model kit is an enhanced take on the classic mobile suit from the Zeta Gundam series. Famous for its gold plating, this HD Color edition boosts display quality with a vivid finish while retaining the inner frame detail and articulation expected from Bandai Master Grade kits.

Pose Range and Panel Fit

This MG release uses refined joint designs to support a broad range of poses that suit dioramas or shelf display. Parts are separated precisely to reduce the need for paint, helping builders achieve a clean, runner-fresh look after careful removal and light cleanup.

Skill Level and Essential Tools

The kit sits at a moderate build level, aimed at experienced hobbyists comfortable with detailed assembly. Recommended tools include side cutters, a hobby knife, sanding sticks and fine files to tidy gates and seams for the best results.

Finishing Tips and Protection

Although the HD color coating lessens the need for full repainting, panel lining, decals and a protective topcoat will enhance contrast and preserve the finish. Light sanding on visible joins helps achieve a smooth, professional surface before sealing.

For collectors and builders with some experience, the Hyaku Shiki HD Color is a rewarding project that delivers striking display appeal and satisfying articulation once complete.
