Key features
  1. Twin Bael Swords: The Gundam Bael is renowned for its twin swords, which are emblematic of its melee combat style. These swords are not just regular weapons; they're symbols of the mobile suit's authority within the Gjallarhorn organisation. The pristine design and detailing on these swords are a testament to Bael's significance and leadership role.
  2. Wings of Light: One of the standout aesthetic features of the Gundam Bael are its elegant wings. These are not just for show, as they give the mobile suit advanced mobility and agility in the air, allowing for swift, fluid combat movements. The wings not only provide an edge in aerial combat but also emphasize Bael's angelic and commanding presence on the battlefield.
  3. Simplistic Yet Detailed Armour: At first glance, the Gundam Bael sports a more minimalistic design compared to other Gundams in the series, with its white and gold colour scheme. However, upon closer inspection, it becomes evident that the suit is adorned with intricate detailing, especially on its chest and limbs, reflecting its elite status.

In essence, the Bandai 1/144 HGIBO Gundam Bael is a representation of power, authority, and purity within the "Iron-Blooded Orphans" series. Its sleek design, coupled with its symbolic weaponry and unique aesthetics, make it a must-have for any Gunpla collector interested in the lore of the IBO universe.

Bandai 1/144 HGIBO Gundam Bael

Bandai 1/144 HGIBO Gundam Bael

The Bandai 1/144 HGIBO Gundam Bael is a High Grade model kit of the legendary first Gundam Frame from Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans, piloted by McGillis Fareed. This kit captures Bael's pure white armour and twin sword combat style that made it the symbol of Gjallarhorn's founding. As ASW-G-01, Bael holds the distinction of being the first of the 72 Gundam Frames built during the Calamity War, and its appearance in Season 2 represents McGillis's claim to lead Gjallarhorn itself.

This kit includes 200+ parts with snap-fit assembly and excellent colour separation. The HGIBO Gundam Bael features dual Bael Swords for recreating the high-speed twin blade combat style that defines this mobile suit's fighting technique.

The kit uses the advanced HGIBO inner frame system that provides exceptional articulation for sword-wielding poses and aerial combat stances. Colour separation is achieved through white, blue, red, and grey plastic runners that capture Bael's pristine appearance without requiring paint. Best suited for intermediate builders who want the legendary first Gundam Frame in their Iron-Blooded Orphans collection.

What Makes This Kit Special

  • First Gundam Frame: ASW-G-01 Gundam Bael, the original and most legendary of the 72 Gundam Frames from the Calamity War era
  • Twin Bael Swords: Includes both signature swords with multiple grip options for dual-wielding combat poses and crossed blade displays
  • Pure White Armour: Clean white and blue colour scheme with red accents that represents Bael's status as Gjallarhorn's symbol
  • Advanced Inner Frame: HGIBO engineering provides solid shoulder and hip articulation for dynamic sword combat stances
  • Alaya-Vijnana System: Cockpit details include the distinctive interface system that connects pilot to mobile suit
  • Wing Thrusters: Distinctive back-mounted thrusters with articulated wing binders for high-mobility poses
  • Minimal Stickers Required: Excellent parts separation means the kit looks accurate straight from the box with optional foil stickers for sensors
  • Action Base Compatible: Standard connection points for displaying Bael in flight with separately sold Action Base stands

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 does the Iron-Blooded Orphans HG series differ from other High Grade Gunpla series?

The Iron-Blooded Orphans (IBO) HG series is tailored to reflect the unique mobile suit designs and aesthetics of the "Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans" anime. The kits often feature inner mechanical details known as the "frame system," which gives the models a greater range of articulation and poseability compared to some other HG series.

I'm particularly interested in the Barbatos mobile suit. Is there a model for that in the HG IBO series?

Absolutely! The Barbatos is one of the standout mobile suits from the IBO series, and there are multiple iterations of the HG Barbatos available, reflecting its various forms and upgrades throughout the anime. Each offers a unique design and weaponry, ensuring you can choose the one that resonates most with you.

Given the distinct design of IBO mobile suits, are these HG kits more complicated to build than other High Grades?

While the IBO HG series showcases unique designs and the frame system, the complexity is still in line with other High Grade kits. They are designed to be accessible, especially for those familiar with HG builds. However, the frame system does add an enjoyable layer of depth for builders who appreciate inner details. Q4: Do the Iron-Blooded Orphans HG kits come with decals and accessories relevant to the series? A4: Yes, they do! The IBO HG kits often come with an array of weaponry, like maces, swords, and rifles, true to what's seen in the anime. Additionally, decals are provided to enhance the model's appearance and capture the intricate designs of the mobile suits. Q5: I've heard about Tekkadan, the main faction in the IBO series. Are there HG kits representing other factions or mobile suits from opposing forces? A5: Indeed! While Tekkadan's mobile suits like the Barbatos are prominent, the HG IBO line also includes kits from other factions and forces, such as Gjallarhorn. This allows you to build and showcase the diverse range of mobile suits from the rich world of Iron-Blooded Orphans. Embark on your Iron-Blooded Orphans building journey and bring the fierce battles and iconic designs of the series to life in your collection!

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!
