Bandai HG Ashsaviour

Bandai's first HG of the Shadow Mirror's balanced ace

The ASK-AD02 Ashsaviour is one of Super Robot Wars' most recognisable original mecha, and this is the first time Bandai has given it a High Grade kit. A high-class "balanced" unit fielded by the Shadow Mirror and flown by officers like Lemon Browning, the Ashsaviour built its name across the Original Generation games on reach and firepower rather than raw brute force. If you have put hours into the OG line, this is the suit finally on your shelf in plastic.

Build difficulty

The Ashsaviour is a snap-fit 1/144 HG, so no glue and no paint are needed for a standard build. It classes around Skill Level 2, basic techniques only: clean nub removal from the runners and a set of marking stickers to apply. Recommended for builders aged 15 and up. A first-timer can get through it fine, and anyone who has built a couple of HGs before will find it a relaxed evening build.

Technical highlights

This one leans on its arsenal. The Halberd Launcher is the headline piece, with a barrel that deploys to recreate its firing state, backed by the Gun Rapier and a pair of Laser Blades for close work. Colour is largely separated through moulded parts, with marking stickers filling in the finer detail. As a standard HG it uses the usual plastic and ABS mix, and the Action Base 7 stand is in the box so you can get it airborne straight away.

What to watch for

This is a recent, niche release and we haven't found a body of independent builder reviews for it yet, so we can't pass on verified fit-and-finish feedback. General note for a kit like this: the fine detail comes from marking stickers rather than water-slide decals, so take your time seating them cleanly, and work slowly with sharp nippers to keep gate marks tidy on the larger armour parts.

Builder tip: a little panel lining with a grey or black marker on the armour seams lifts the finish without any painting.

Build notes

No cement or paint required for a standard build. A pair of nippers and a hobby knife for clean-up are the only tools you really need. The Action Base 7 stand is included. Recommended age 15 and up.

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 makes these Gunpla kits the hottest sellers?

These kits are fan favourites for their detailed design, affordability, and build size, offering a balanced and enjoyable building experience.

Are these hottest seller kits suitable for beginners?

Absolutely! Especially the HG kits, which are known for their fewer parts and simplicity, making them a great starting point for new builders.

What is the level of detail in the MG and RG hottest sellers?

MG kits boast a detailed inner frame and additional parts, while RG combines MG’s complexity with HG’s size for an intricate, compact build.

Can I get replacement parts if I lose some during the build?

Yes, if you buy a kit from Gundam Express Australia we will source replacement parts for you. This is not a quick process as parts need to come from Bandai in Japan.

How much space will I need to display these Gunpla?

HG and RG Gundam kits are compact, while MG Gundam are larger but still manageable. You won’t need too much space to showcase these masterpieces beautifully.
