Bandai 53276 - HG 1/144 Gundam Ashtaron Model Kit - Winged HG Build  [B-53276]

Hands-on look at the HG 1/144 Gundam Ashtaron kit

The Bandai 53276 - HG 1/144 Gundam Ashtaron Model Kit gives builders a focused entry into After War Gundam X styling. The kit captures the suit's distinctive silhouette and transformation features, making it a satisfying project for those who value articulated displays and accurate proportions.

Winged structure and posing details

This release reproduces Gundam Ashtaron's broad wings and extendable arm sections with careful part engineering. Articulation points support a wide range of stances, and the joint design balances stability with expressive motion. Included beam effect parts help recreate action poses on a shelf or diorama.

Skill level and basic tool list

Intended for builders with some prior Gunpla experience, the kit is moderately challenging. Recommended tools include side cutters, a hobby knife, and a sanding stick to achieve clean panel lines and remove nubs.

Preparing surfaces and finishing tips

Light sanding and panel lining will lift the kit's small details. Applying decals and a clear topcoat will protect finishes and sharpen contrasts for display-ready results.

For modellers who enjoy compact transformation gimmicks and strong articulation, the HG 1/144 Gundam Ashtaron is a rewarding build with solid display potential.
