Bandai 1/144 HGIBO Hyakuren

Bandai 1/144 HGIBO Hyakuren

The STH-05/AC Hyakuren is the Turbines' standard mobile suit in Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans — a Calamity War-era frame brought back into modern service and operated alongside Tekkadan throughout Season 2. The Hyakuren has a clean, samurai-influenced silhouette that sets it apart from the bulkier Graze variants run by Gjallarhorn, and the standard light blue and grey colour scheme reads well on a shelf full of darker IBO kits.

If you build IBO mobile suits, the standard Hyakuren is the natural counterpoint to the Tekkadan Gundam Frames and pairs perfectly with the Amida Custom for a Turbines display.

This kit is designed for beginner-to-intermediate builders and is a clean snap-fit build with strong colour separation.

The Hyakuren runs on a streamlined IBO frame with pile bunker arm equipment as the headline weapon. The arm-mounted bunkers articulate into firing configuration, and the kit includes the standard hand weapons. Colour separation handles the light bluish-purple, dark blue, grey, and white scheme through the runners with foil stickers for the markings.

What Makes This Kit Special

  • Turbines Standard Unit: The mobile suit Tekkadan's most reliable allies pilot through Season 2
  • Pile Bunker Arm Equipment: The Hyakuren's signature close-combat weapon, articulated for firing pose
  • Calamity War-Era Frame: Refurbished antique mobile suit with modern HGIBO articulation underneath
  • Samurai-Influenced Silhouette: Clean, sharp design that stands apart from the bulkier Gjallarhorn Graze line
  • Strong Colour Separation: Light bluish-purple, dark blue, grey, and white moulding holds the look without paint
  • HGIBO Compatibility: Compatible with the wider HGIBO range for parts swapping
  • Action Base Compatible: Standard 3mm peg for active display

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 HGIBO 1/144 Hyakuren is the Turbines' standard mobile suit, with pile bunker arm equipment and hand weapons included.

What to Watch For

The pile bunker arm equipment uses small attachment tabs that can be tight on first installation — take it slow rather than forcing the parts together. The skirt armour is segmented and one or two of the side panels can pop loose during leg articulation. A drop of plastic cement on the inner peg secures them if it bothers you.

Builder Tips: Panel lining on the light bluish-purple sections gives the Hyakuren significant additional depth. A dark grey panel line marker works better than black on the lighter colour, keeping the contrast soft.

Build Notes

Snap-fit assembly. No glue required. Nippers recommended for clean part removal. Expect a 2-3 hour build with panel lining. 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.

Great selection of kit, excellent value for money

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!
