Bandai 1/144 HGIBO McGillis's Schwalbe Graze

Bandai 1/144 HGIBO McGillis's Schwalbe Graze

This is McGillis Fareed's personal Schwalbe Graze, the high-mobility commander variant he pilots through the back half of Iron-Blooded Orphans Season 1. The Schwalbe Graze is the Gjallarhorn officer's mobile suit — lighter, faster, and considerably more dangerous than the standard Graze grunt unit — and McGillis's blue colour scheme marks it out as the unit of one of the most cold-blooded political operators in the series.

If you've followed McGillis's arc, you know this is the suit he uses to position himself for the eventual takeover. Building it gives you a clean record of one of IBO's most distinctive personal mobile suits.

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

The Schwalbe Graze is built on the standard Graze HG frame with remoulded torso and shoulder armour, and McGillis's version carries the kustom blue palette and a custom-fit knife included for close-quarters work. The kit also includes the rear booster pack, battle axe, and rifle that make up the standard Gjallarhorn loadout. Articulation is solid for an HGIBO release, and the colour separation is largely handled in-runner so painting is optional.

What Makes This Kit Special

  • McGillis Personal Colours: Distinctive Gjallarhorn officer blue scheme straight from the runners, no painting required for the headline look
  • Remoulded Commander Frame: New torso and shoulder armour over the standard Graze base, including a re-shaped head antenna for command rank
  • Close-Combat Knife: Custom knife included for the close-quarters fight scenes McGillis is famous for
  • Full Graze Loadout: Rear booster, battle axe, and rifle all included
  • Strong Colour Separation: Blue, dark grey, and white moulding holds up well on the shelf without paint
  • IBO Sub-line Compatibility: Hardpoints and joints match the rest of the HGIBO range for parts swapping with other Graze variants
  • Action Base Compatible: Standard 3mm peg for aerial display poses

What's In The Box

  • Schwalbe Graze plastic runners (blue, dark grey, white, clear)
  • Rear booster pack
  • Battle axe
  • Rifle
  • Custom knife
  • Polycap set

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 McGillis's Schwalbe Graze captures the Gjallarhorn officer's personal blue colour scheme with the custom knife, rear booster, battle axe, and rifle included.

What to Watch For

The head antenna is a sharp single point that pops off easily during posing. Handle the head with care once it's assembled, and consider gluing the antenna in place if you plan to handle the kit often. The chest armour is layered, and the inner blue piece can shift slightly during posing — a single drop of plastic cement on the inside seam locks it down without affecting the outer finish.

Builder Tips: Panel lining brings out the Gjallarhorn detail on the shoulders and chest. A grey panel line marker works well across the blue and white, and a black marker on the dark grey frame parts adds definition.

Build Notes

Snap-fit assembly. No glue required for the standard build. 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a High Grade (HG) Gundam kit, and how does it differ from other grades?

High Grade (HG) Gundam kits are a line of Gunpla (Gundam plastic model kits) known for their affordability, ease of assembly, and good level of detail. They are typically 1/144 scale and are a great choice for beginners. The main difference from other grades, like Master Grade (MG) or Perfect Grade (PG), is the smaller scale and simplified inner frame construction.

Are High Grade Gundam kits pre-painted or do I need to paint them myself?

High Grade Gundam kits are usually not pre-painted. They come molded in different coloured plastic pieces that you assemble. While you can build them without painting, many enthusiasts choose to paint their kits to enhance detail and customise the appearance. Painting is optional but can greatly improve the final look.

Do High Grade kits require glue or special tools for assembly?

Typically, High Grade Gundam kits are designed to be snap-fit models, meaning they don't require glue or special tools. However, having basic modeling tools, such as hobby nippers and sandpaper, can help you achieve cleaner and smoother results.

How long does it take to assemble a High Grade Gundam kit?

The time it takes to assemble a High Grade kit can vary widely depending on your experience level, the complexity of the kit, and whether you choose to paint or customise it. On average, it can take a few hours to a day or more for a detailed build, but it's a hobby that allows you to take your time and enjoy the process.

Can I pose High Grade Gundam kits after assembly, and do they come with accessories?

Yes, High Grade kits are designed for poseability, and they often come with multiple points of articulation. They also include various accessories like weapons, shields, and optional hands to create dynamic poses. Many kits also have interchangeable parts to customize their appearance further.

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!
