Series Assembly Guide FAQ

Bandai 1/144 HG Kabakali

Mask's black Beam Ring fighter from Reconguista in G

The Bandai 1/144 HG Kabakali is the VGMM-Git01 Kabakali, the machine Mask pilots in the closing battles of Gundam Reconguista in G. It was built by Venus Globe's G-IT Laboratory, and in the final fight it goes head to head with the G-Self, throwing its spinning Beam Rings and flying on its huge shoulder shields.

This is HG Reconguista in G kit number 16, first released by Bandai in July 2015. It suits G-Reco fans who want the series' last big rival on the shelf, and anyone after a dark, villain-looking HG that stands out next to all the white and blue.

Build difficulty

The HG Kabakali is a snap-fit High Grade with 11 runners and no glue needed. Bandai rates it for ages 8 and over. Builders describe the assembly as simple and straightforward, and most of the colour comes from the plastic itself, so there are only a few stickers to apply, mostly around the head. The part that takes a bit of patience is setting up the Beam Ring display, covered in What to watch for below.

Technical highlights

The kit is moulded in black, dark grey, red and dark purple, with clear red parts for the Beam Ring blades and clear parts for the chest and shoulder details. The red undersides of the shoulder shields and the small red details on the armour are separate parts, not stickers. No paint is needed to finish it. The shoulder shields open out flat to recreate Minovsky Flight, and builders report they move a long way and hold their position. The Beam Rings store in the containers on the back, and two lead wires connect a ring to the palm for the classic thrown-ring pose.

What makes this kit special

  • Beam Rings with clear blades: the chakram-style rings come out of the back containers and can be posed mid-throw.
  • Lead wires and ring stands: two lead wires link a ring to the hand, and dedicated stands hold the rings up for display.
  • Minovsky Flight shoulders: the big shoulder shields open out horizontally for the flying pose from the show.
  • Strong colour separation: the red and grey details are moulded as separate parts, so it looks right with very few stickers.
  • Beam shotgun with spare magazine: the spare magazine clips onto the waist, and there's a dedicated right hand for holding the shotgun.
  • Swappable leg armour: fit the large knee shields for the heavy re-entry look, or leave them off for a slimmer stance.

What's in the box

  • 11 plastic runners
  • 2 lead wires
  • 1 foil sticker sheet
  • Instruction manual
  • Beam shotgun with spare magazine
  • Right hand for holding the beam shotgun
  • Beam Rings with clear blade parts, stored in the back containers
  • Beam Ring display stands
  • Leg shield armour (swap parts)

Compatible accessories

No display base is included for the Kabakali itself (the included stands are for the Beam Rings). For flying poses with the shoulder shields spread, pair the Bandai 1/144 HG Kabakali with the Bandai Action Base 2 - Display Stand for 1/144 Scale Gunpla, the standard 1/144 display stand. Bandai's own promotional photos show the Kabakali on an Action Base, sold separately.

Build your Reconguista in G collection

The Kabakali's natural shelf partner is the G-Self, the Gundam it fights in the final battle of Reconguista in G. Put the two side by side and the black and red Kabakali makes a great contrast with the G-Self's bright colours.

Fast Australian shipping

Dispatched same day from Brisbane if ordered before 2pm AEST on weekdays. Free shipping Australia-wide on orders over $199. Packed securely in a sturdy outer box with water-soluble cornstarch void fill that dissolves cleanly in the sink.

The Bandai 1/144 HG Kabakali comes with its Beam Rings, lead wires, ring stands, beam shotgun and swappable leg shields.

What to watch for

Drawing on builder reviews and community threads (YouTube build reviews, Japanese hobby blogs and retailer customer reviews):

  • Beam Ring display takes some fiddling: several builders found the Beam Ring stands short and light, so the lead wire can pull them over, and the wire can pop out of the hand or ring. Taking your time with the wire length helps.
  • No hand-mounted beam sabers: the beam blades the Kabakali uses from its forearms in the show are not included in the kit, a point a few builders mentioned.
  • Some visible seams: a couple of builders pointed out seam lines on the arms, thighs and feet. They are not prominent on a straight build, but worth knowing if you plan to paint.
  • Leg movement: one reviewer found the knees stop at about 90 degrees and the feet do not sit flat in wide stances, while others were happy with the overall range for a G-Reco kit.

Builder tips: use sharp nippers and trim nubs with a hobby knife, since one builder found white stress marks show up easily on the black plastic. A grey or silver panel line marker works better than black on this colour scheme. An Action Base makes the flying and Beam Ring poses much easier to hold.

Build notes

No glue needed. A pair of nippers, a hobby knife for cleaning up nub marks and a pair of tweezers for the small head stickers are all you need. Painting is optional, since the kit is moulded in colour. Bandai rates it for ages 8 and over.

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

What's in the box of the HG Kabakali?

Eleven plastic runners, two lead wires, one foil sticker sheet and the instruction manual. The parts build the Kabakali with its beam shotgun and spare magazine, a dedicated hand for the shotgun, the Beam Rings with clear blades, stands for the Beam Rings and the swappable leg shields.

Does the HG Kabakali come with a display stand?

It comes with small stands for the Beam Rings, but not a stand for the Kabakali itself. For flying poses, a 1/144 Action Base such as Action Base 2 works well, and Bandai's own photos show the kit on one.

Is the HG Kabakali suitable for first-time builders?

Yes. Bandai rates it for ages 8 and over, it snaps together without glue, and there are only a few stickers. The trickiest part is the Beam Ring display, since the lead wires can pull the light ring stands over, so give yourself some time to get the pose right.

Does the HG Kabakali need paint?

No. The kit is moulded in black, dark grey, red and dark purple, with clear parts for the Beam Ring blades, and the red details are separate parts. A few small stickers cover the eyes and head markings. Painting is optional.

Who pilots the Kabakali?

Mask, the masked Capital Army captain whose real name is Luin Lee. He flies the Kabakali against the G-Self in the final battles of Gundam Reconguista in G.

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!
