Bandai Hobby - Char's Counterattack Beltorchika Children - #36 Hi-Nu Gundam, Bandai Spirits RG 1/144 Model Kit

I want to start my review by stating I am a novice at building gunpla. This is was my third ever!This is however an insane build full of crazy detail and wonderful gimmicks and features. From the secret cannon in the arm to the 3 hidden beam saber holders, you'll absolutely have a blast building and displaying this model.It's appearently much larger than other 1/144th scale models, towering over other real and high grades, but I think that's fine, the Hi Nu is supposed to be an imposing Gundam and you really get that feeling when you have this kit built.The color separation is great and the panel lines are great. Building it, despite it's complex looking design, was fun and simple, albeit kinda time consuming.The only real negative i can think of is the gold they chose, it's not the best looking but can be fixed by either gold Gundam markers or regular paint.I think everyone should have one of these!

Because this was my third build (second RG) I took my sweet time getting through it. I knew what to expect (thought I did) from an RG since my first build was an RG and compared to the HG, they're no joke. THIS kit had a few more sprues than either of my first two kits. Regardless, the quality of the kit is remarkable. The instructions are perfectly accurate and very easy to interpret even if you never read the text - the symbols and imagery is beautifully illustrated and clear.Some of the smaller pieces didn't have the greatest "snug" fit, for example, the head to the chest is a bit loose and the head array as well - a slight bump will generally cause it to fall out.The model itself is utterly gorgeous. I didn't install the decals at this point since I am planning to do panel lines and some minimal aging, but I don't see why those will be any different than the Sazabi decals.The only issue which caused me frustration is trying to find a decent place to hold onto while establishing its pose position. That's hardly something to be upset over though. Worth keeping in mind is the Action Base 2 is somewhat challenged by the sheer weight of this beast. It tends to bounce around and stress the hinges.All that being said, it's a great build and very enjoyable.

The media could not be loaded. This RG kit is one of the most satisfying Gunpla I have ever built. Whoever designed this model did such an amazing job making the parts fit so amazing tight and neat together. The panel lines are so defined that using panel liner is cake. The details are amazingly intricate and all the part fit so tightly together.The RG Hi Nu Gundam is one of the most beautiful and articulate Gunpla models that I have built so far. I recommend so good nippers and a good glass file because there is a lot of “Under Gate” pieces. I am mostly impressed how well the panel lines are defined though. I have never seen a Gunpla kit that has this high quality of details and defined panel line etching.I am going on and on about the same thing but if you ever built Gunpla you’ll know exactly what I mean once you get your hands on this kit. Just get it!!!

Great RG build, the largest in my 1/144 collection. An awesome experience, beginning with unwrapping all the sprues all the way to placing the model on my shelf. Highly recommend.

Great kit for beginners and experienced builders! A bit back heavy and the funnels do get a bit loose, but these shouldn't stop you from enjoying the kit. Love the color scheme and the variety of weapons it came with.

I have purchased this as a final build (for now) for my gunpla collection, this HAS to be the best one I have built, the mobility and accessories are insane and there is the ever popular real grade detailing.Pros:- Mobility and movement as this thing is a posing machine believe it or not.- Extremely detailed- No Paint or glue required (Welp it's a suggestion that's not required)- No limit to accessoriesCons:- It can be quite big for a 1/144 scale model so check shelve size height before buying.- The gold and silver can look too plasticky or toy-like for some, so I had to spray paint the gold so it could pop more.- And no water slider stickers.In short, if you're going get only ONE gunpla kit ever, make sure it's this one.

This was a fun build, the kit feels super sturdy and has some weight to it. overall this kit is a mini masterpiece and worth every penny

You’ll love this kit if you buy it. It’s a super fun build. It’s beautiful even without any extra work. There are a lot of stickers but you don’t HAVE to apply any of them. With or without them it looks amazing. It’s a little bit back heavy, so I would recommend a stand. But it’s NOT a requirement. There are fuel tanks on the backpack that can be used to help prop the kit up and prevent it from falling backwards. Overall this kit is easily a 10/10 and I would recommend buying it if you’re thinking about it.
