Bandai Hobby - Gundam IBO - #21 Gundam Barbatos Lupus HG IBO 1/144 Model Kit

Haven’t even gotten it yet but it’s such a good product

I absolutely love the Gundam Barbatos design and this kit captures it so well for a good price, it's an easy and fun build with very few runners but it has a lot of details, and the articulation is amazing which is always great for model kits. Awesome kit, very cool Gundam and I absolutely recommend to anyone who hasn't built it yet.

These models are awesome. No need for glue because they snap together. No need for paints because they are made of different color plastic and have a few stickers. My 10 year old put it together and has been plying with it dinr he got it. He loves these models, I do too! They are beautifully designed and mostly articulated. My only negative is that some of the weapons may be a bit delicate snd prone to break when played with. You can also hot glue the broken weapon piece together, so, that’s not too bad. My son has put a bunch of these in my cart….lol.

Quick fairly easy model, broke off a small mandible piece piece on the bottom right side of the head while putting together the head and put a knee joint together backwards and almost broke the blade off the sword at the hilt trying to take the sword out of the hand. So he careful with the thin pieces. But over all very happy for the price. I'm excited to order another one in payday.

This model shipped to me in about a week, the plastic is fairly rigid and flexible but still soft as i broke a tab during building (extra thin cement for the win). The decals that go on are fairly forgiving on skin but stick well once applied firmly to the model. The runners were easy to cut and remove the parts with a sharp set of flush cutters. This kit is fairly easy to put together with a decent amout of detail, nothing compared to an MG barbatos kit. Barbatos is my favorite gundam and will be panel lining when it finally comes in. Update: I recieved my panel liner and have lined it and used the MG barbatos decal sheet to add even more detail to it. It really makes it pop with the more defined lines and extra eye catching aspects.

For the price this kit is amazing. Panel lining makes him look like a monster 🔥🔥🔥

👌

Easily one of my favorite gundams, it was a fun build. The detail and color separation was there, a good 5 inch model kit. It holds well. Just be a little careful with his sword but otherwise great product
