Bandai HG 1/144 Gundam Aerial Rebuild - Witch from Mercury

Bandai HG 1/144 Gundam Aerial Rebuild - Witch from Mercury

The Aerial Rebuild represents evolution. When Suletta's original Gundam Aerial needed to become something more, this is what emerged - enhanced armour, a revolutionary weapon system, and the kind of upgrade that changes everything. This isn't just a variant; it's the Aerial pushed to its next form, ready for the challenges that the original couldn't handle.

What makes the Rebuild special is the bit stave system. That shield isn't just defensive equipment - it separates into 11 individual bit staves that can be deployed as weapons or additional armour. Connect them all to the barrel and you get the Gambit Rifle, a weapon configuration that showcases exactly why this rebuild was necessary. When you build this kit, you're assembling the mobile suit that proves upgrades aren't just cosmetic - they're tactical evolution.

What To Expect From The Build:

An easy, satisfying build and a great first step into The Witch from Mercury. The Aerial Rebuild snaps together without glue, so it suits newer builders as well as collectors. Bandai's part separation does the heavy lifting on colour, so it looks sharp as soon as it's together, with minimal and mostly optional stickers. The glowing detail across the chest and head comes from moulded-in parts rather than stickers, which is why it reads so clean even unpainted. Plan on roughly three to five hours. If you want full screen accuracy, a few fine details reward a pass with Gundam Markers or paint, though you do not need to.

What To Watch For:

Like most High Grades, the Aerial Rebuild shows a few seam lines if you build it straight from the box. They sit mainly on the legs, the shoulders and the forearms. Most are tucked into the panel detail and barely show once it's posed, so this is a normal part of the grade, not a fault. If you enjoy the extra step, they fill and sand easily for a cleaner finish. If you would rather not bother, it still looks great built straight.

Assembly Guide

Skill Level.2 Basic modeling skills are required. Parental supervision may be required for younger children. These kits are generally suitable for beginner builders. A basic set of modeling tools are required including nippers, hobby knife, sanding sticks/paper, file, and tweezers. No glue is needed for the general assembly. Parts will need to be removed by using a pair of nippers and cutting the part away from the runner. Parts may require clean-up where they were removed from the runner.

Gunpla (plastic model kits) are a snap together assembly and do not need plastic cement to complete. We always recommend having some plastic cement handy as a part of your modeler's tool kit. If you prefer to fix your model in a particular pose then plastic cement will work. Plastic cement is also perfect to use if a joint is loose. Apply plastic cement in a single thin layer and allow it to dry completely before test fitting. Re-apply more cement if necessary.

Gunpla (plastic model kits) are designed to be built and displayed without the need for painting. Kits are molded in different colours replicating the colours of the actual mecha from the Mecha series. A technique called colour separation, where multiple parts of the model are molded in different colours on the same sprue is also used. Mecha kits often include stickers or water-slide decals that can be applied to the model to enhance its appearance. Some Gunpla kits come with pre-painted parts or parts with pre-applied details, such as metallic or translucent finishes.

Many modelers still choose to paint their kits to customize and add further detail. Painting allows for more creativity and personalization, enabling modelers to achieve unique effects, weathering, and colour schemes that may not be available out of the box. However, the kits are designed to be enjoyable and visually appealing even without painting, making them accessible to a wide range of hobbyists.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the different grades of Gunpla, and how do they differ?

Q: What are the different grades of Gunpla, and how do they differ? A: Gunpla kits come in various grades, including Entry Grade (EG formally FG) High Grade (HG), Master Grade (MG), Perfect Grade (PG), Real Grade (RG), and Super Deformed (SD). Each grade varies in size, complexity, articulation, and detail, with PG being the most detailed and largest among standard models, while SDs are chibi-style representations of Gundam mobile suits.

How do I start with Gunpla building if I'm a beginner?

Start with an EG, HG or SD kit, as they are simpler and require minimal tools. Alternatively choose one of Gundam Express Australia's customised beginner boxes. Ensure you have a pair of plastic nippers and, optionally, a hobby knife and fine grit sandpaper. Follow the instruction manual, cut parts carefully from the runners, and piece them together. Over time, you can advance to more intricate models and detailing techniques.

Do I need to paint my Gunpla?

Painting is optional. Kits come pre-coloured, so painting is primarily for those who want to customize or achieve a specific look. If you decide to paint, acrylic or enamel hobby paints are recommended, along with proper priming.

How can I make my Gunpla look even more realistic?

Techniques like panel lining, using decals, weathering, and top-coating can enhance the realism of a kit. Panel lining emphasizes details, decals add logos and warnings, weathering gives a battle-worn look, and top-coating seals everything with a matte or glossy finish.

Are there limited edition or rare Gunpla kits?

Yes, Bandai regularly releases limited edition, event-exclusive, or special coating versions of kits. These can be more challenging to find and might be pricier than standard releases. Collectors often seek these kits for their uniqueness. Common names included:- P-Bandai (premium Bandai), Gundam Base Limited, and Event Limited
