Bandai 158539 - 1/100 MG STRIKE ROUGE Clear Color Model Kit - Collector Master Grade  [B-158539]

Step-by-step assembly for the MG 1/100 Strike Rouge Clear Color

This Bandai release presents the MG 1/100 Strike Rouge Clear Color as a fresh interpretation of the Gundam SEED mobile suit. Semi-transparent components let builders play with backlighting and layered displays, while the Master Grade approach keeps parts well detailed for both display and handling. The kit is designed to engage hobbyists who appreciate clear-part aesthetics and solid engineering.

Pose performance and translucent styling

With articulation expected from Master Grade kits, the Strike Rouge Clear Color delivers a wide range of dynamic poses. Shoulder, elbow and hip joints are engineered for reliable movement so you can stage action-packed or relaxed stances. The clear elements boost visual depth when lit from different angles, making poses more striking under LEDs or shop lighting.

Skill level and recommended tools

This kit has a moderate build complexity that suits modelers with some experience. Keep side cutters, a sharp hobby knife, sanding sticks and fine tweezers close at hand to trim runners, clean parts and secure small details for neat joins and panel lines.

Preparing surfaces and protecting translucency

Light sanding and selective panel lining will increase contrast without overwhelming the clear components. Use careful masking before any painting and finish with decals and a light matte or satin topcoat to protect stickers while preserving the subtle transparent look.

The MG 1/100 Strike Rouge Clear Color is a standout kit for collectors who favour display presence and poseability. Its clear parts and refined joints make it a rewarding build that photographs well under controlled lighting.
