Series Assembly Guide FAQ

Bandai 1/144 HG IBO Graze Custom (Kai)

Bandai 1/144 HG IBO Graze Custom (Kai)

The Graze Custom, known in Japan as the Graze Kai, is Tekkadan's field-upgraded take on the captured Gjallarhorn Graze. Once Tekkadan started pulling parts and know-how together after the early clashes with Gjallarhorn, this is the kind of hybrid unit that came out of it: heavier armour, a bigger axe, and a paint job that has nothing to do with the original owner.

It's a solid pick if you're building out the Tekkadan side of Iron-Blooded Orphans and want a unit that shows the faction's scrappy, patched-together engineering rather than a factory-fresh Gjallarhorn machine.

Build difficulty

This is an intermediate build. Snap-fit assembly, no glue required, with a part count and level of detail typical of the HGIBO range. Nippers are worth having on hand for clean part removal from the runners.

Technical highlights

The Graze Custom carries reinforced chest and shoulder armour over the base Graze frame, moulded in two shades of green with grey, white and black accents. It's built for melee: the signature Graze Axe is a larger, more aggressive weapon than the axe on a standard Graze, and the rifle rounds out the loadout for ranged work. Articulation matches the rest of the HGIBO line, with enough range in the hips and knees for grounded, weighted poses.

What Makes This Kit Special

  • Field-modified look: reinforced armour and a darker green scheme set it apart from a factory-standard Graze.
  • Graze Axe: a larger, more aggressive melee weapon than the standard Graze's axe.
  • Colour separation: two shades of green plus grey, white and black moulded in, no painting required.
  • Full HGIBO articulation: hip, knee and shoulder range built for grounded combat poses.
  • Rifle and axe both included: covers both ranged and melee display options.

What's In The Box

  • Graze Custom (Kai) plastic runners (two shades of green, two shades of grey, white and black)
  • Rifle
  • Graze Axe
  • Polycap set
  • Foil sticker sheet for markings
  • Instruction manual

What to watch for

Independent build coverage for this specific kit is thin. A general search and a targeted look for community write-ups turned up retailer listings and general HGIBO Graze-line discussion, but no build reports specific to the Custom (Kai) variant. Nothing has surfaced to flag as a known issue, so take that as not yet documented rather than confirmed trouble-free.

Build Notes

Snap-fit assembly. No glue required for the standard build. Nippers recommended for clean part removal. Expect a 1-2 hour build. Action Base sold separately. Recommended age 15+.

Assembly Guide

SKILL LEVEL REQUIRED
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.
No Cement Required

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.

No Painting Required

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

How difficult are IBO Gunpla models to build?

Can I customise IBO Gunpla models?

Absolutely! IBO Gunpla kits are known for their customisation potential. Many builders enjoy modifying and combining parts to create unique mobile suits that reflect the series' rugged, battle-worn aesthetic.

Are the mobile suits in IBO different from other Gundam series?

Yes, the mobile suits in IBO, powered by Ahab Reactors, have a distinct, mechanical aesthetic with exposed cabling and frames, reflecting the series' harsh, war-torn setting.

Why is Gundam Barbatos so popular among Gunpla enthusiasts?

Awesome kit, great extras. Only criticism is that the kit comes with a base so you don't need the second one. The kit also doesn't have the ability to take the blue LED bonus so if you don't have another use for it it is wasted. Luckily, I'm a Gundam tragic so will always have uses for extra bases and lighting kits.

Excellent service and fast delivery

I purchased on 6 Jan and my order arrived on 13 Jan. It was very well packed, with both boxes in excellent condition. Cam even provided a small free gift in the box! Overall purchasing experience was smooth and hassle-free. I haven’t had the chance to build the kit yet, but based on the service and care taken with shipping, I would happily purchase from this store if there are other Space Battleship Yamato models available.

Very rare with fair price

If you were one of the lucky ones that were able to travel to Sydney Gundam Base pop-up in 2025 and queued extremely early (like the first 40 or so) on the first day, probably you were able to grab one of these. Otherwise, the only alternative I would know of is traveling to Japan and being uber lucky of having it still being sold at Gundam bases. Otherwise, it's a second-hand market, and prices will go up. That said, the price was fair, I think it would be similar price as using a dropship service from Japan, with the exception that it's much faster and way more guaranteed you will get proper merchandise. So, Mecha Express, Cam, thank you so much for your store!
