Bandai 1/144 HGCE GAT-X105 Aile Strike

Bandai 1/144 HGCE GAT-X105 Aile Strike Gundam

The Bandai 1/144 HGCE GAT-X105 Aile Strike is the High Grade Cosmic Era kit of Kira Yamato's first mobile suit from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, equipped with the Aile Striker pack that gives the Strike its signature high-mobility flight configuration. The HGCE line is Bandai's revived and improved take on the classic SEED kits — better articulation, improved colour separation, and updated engineering compared to the original HG releases. If you're building a Cosmic Era collection or want the definitive entry-level version of the Strike, this is the one to get.

This kit is beginner-friendly snap-fit construction, standing approximately 16 cm tall when complete. It includes the beam rifle, beam saber, and shield alongside the Aile Striker pack, with stickers included for surface detail.

The HGCE Aile Strike is one of the best entry points into Gunpla at this price point — the build is accessible for first-time builders, the weapon loadout is complete, and the Aile Striker pack gives you genuine wing articulation for dynamic display poses. Best suited to beginners and anyone building out the Earth Alliance side of the Cosmic Era conflict.

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.
