Bandai 1/144 HGAC Gundam Deathscythe

Bandai 1/144 HGAC Gundam Deathscythe

The XXXG-01D Gundam Deathscythe is Duo Maxwell's mobile suit from Mobile Suit Gundam Wing — the stealth, melee-focused unit nicknamed the God of Death by the OZ pilots unfortunate enough to encounter it. The HGAC release brings the original Operation Meteor Gundam back with modern High Grade engineering, restoring the proportions and articulation that the 1995 kits never had.

If you build Gundam Wing kits, the HGAC line is the definitive 1/144 take on the Operation Meteor five, and the Deathscythe is the standout for builders who want active melee posing.

This kit is designed for intermediate builders and uses snap-fit assembly with no glue required.

The HGAC Deathscythe has the full articulation range needed for active scythe poses, which is the main attraction here. Bandai included two versions of the beam scythe effect parts (open and closed) plus a stowed scythe variant, so you can display it in the long-range cloak mode or fully in combat. The buster shield blades move outward and inward, and clear effect parts are included for the active deployment pose. Colour separation handles the black, white, and yellow scheme through the runners.

What Makes This Kit Special

  • Two Beam Scythe Effect Parts: Open and closed effect blades for varied melee poses
  • Stowed Scythe Variant: Recreate the cloaked stealth mode with the scythe in storage configuration
  • Buster Shield with Active Blades: Shield blades move outward and inward, with optional clear effect parts for active deployment
  • Modern HGAC Articulation: Full range of motion for active melee posing, a major step up from the 1995 original
  • Operation Meteor Five: Pairs with the rest of the HGAC line (Wing, Sandrock, Heavyarms, Shenlong) for the complete set
  • GunPla 40th Anniversary Release: Part of Bandai's 40th anniversary lineup with refreshed tooling
  • Strong Colour Separation: Black, white, and yellow moulding holds the iconic Deathscythe look without paint
  • Action Base Compatible: Standard 3mm peg for aerial scythe poses

Fast Australian Shipping

Same Day Dispatch: Orders placed before 2pm weekdays ship same day. Orders after 2pm or on weekends ship next business day.

Australian Stock: In stock and ready to ship Australia-wide from Mecha Express. The HGAC 1/144 Gundam Deathscythe is Duo Maxwell's Operation Meteor mobile suit, with two beam scythe effect parts, stowed scythe variant, and buster shield with active blades included.

What to Watch For

The active beam scythe effect part is large and shifts the kit's centre of gravity sharply to one side. An Action Base is genuinely useful for held-overhead or wide swing poses. The buster shield's movable blades can fall off the shoulder mount during posing if pushed hard — a touch of friction-restoring nail polish on the peg helps if it works loose.

Builder Tips: Black panel lining on the white chest and yellow accents brings out the angular HGAC detailing. The scythe blade benefits from a slightly tinted topcoat or marker shading along the edge to break up the flat clear plastic.

Build Notes

Snap-fit assembly. No glue required. Nippers recommended for clean part removal of the smaller effect parts. Expect a 3-hour build with effect-part swapping. Action Base sold separately and recommended for active scythe poses. 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.

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!
