Bandai 1/144 HGBD Gundam Jiyan Altron

Tigerwolf's Jiyan Altron, a Build Divers custom Altron

Gundam Jiyan Altron is Tigerwolf's custom Gunpla from Gundam Build Divers, built on the Altron Gundam from Gundam Wing. Bandai describes it as a custom Gunpla with tiger and wolf design parts added to both shoulders. Those shoulder parts are the twin Jiyan Hangs, which can be extended like the original Altron's, and with the included joint parts the shoulder pieces can be held in the hands and used as weapons.

Build difficulty

Bandai rates the kit for builders aged 8 and up and it is a snap-fit High Grade build. You will want nippers to cut the parts from the runners. Foil stickers are included. Bandai's Japanese listing counts 13 moulded sprues.

Technical highlights

The twin Jiyan Hangs on the shoulders have unfolding middle sections and articulated claw tips, with a wolf head on the left and a tiger head on the right whose mouths open. They can be detached and held in the hand with the separate handle parts, as the Wolf Fist and Tiger Fist weapons. The kit also has Jiyan Breakers on the knees and a shield and wings mounted on the backpack on sub-arms.

What makes this kit special

  • Tiger and wolf shoulder parts: animal head designs on both shoulders set it apart from the standard Altron.
  • Extendable twin Jiyan Hangs: the shoulder arms extend, like the original Altron's.
  • Hand-held shoulder weapons: the included joint parts let you hold the shoulder parts as weapons.
  • Jiyan Shield: a shield is included, mounted on the backpack on sub-arms.
  • Altron lineage: a Build Divers take on the Gundam Wing Altron.

What to watch for

Builder discussion of this kit is limited, and the point below comes from one detailed English-language review, so treat it as an observation rather than a verdict. That reviewer found the articulation decent and the extended Twin Jiyan Hangs held their positions firmly, but felt the limb joints had a slightly wobbly feel that stopped the kit feeling rock-solid.

Build notes

No glue needed. Keep nippers and a fine file or sanding stick handy for clean-up where parts leave the runner. Suitable from age 8 with light supervision for younger builders.

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.
