Bandai 1/144 HG Gundam Calibarn

Prepare to immerse yourself in the world of Gundam Calibarn as you assemble and showcase this extraordinary HG Gundam kit. Experience the fusion of cutting-edge design, magical elements, and a touch of Shakespearean inspiration. Unleash the power of the witch and bring this stunning mobile suit to life in your collection.

Introducing the highly anticipated Bandai 1/144 HG Gundam Calibarn from the renowned High Grade Gundam series. This latest addition showcases the remarkable design of Suletta's newest mobile suit, featuring pristine pure white armour and a distinctive broom-like beam cannon that adds a captivating touch of "witch" to its appearance.

Originally conceived as a secret Gunpla under the working name of New Product B during the Hobby Next Phase Spring 2023 event, the Gundam Calibarn quickly garnered attention for its exceptional aesthetics and unique weaponry. During the Vanadis Incident, this remarkable mobile suit was seized by the Space Assembly League, earning itself the moniker "Monster" in reference to Caliban, the character from Shakespeare's illustrious play, The Tempest, from which it derives its inspired name.

Like its counterparts in the Gundam Witch from Mercury Gunpla collection, the Gundam Calibarn boasts shell units expertly molded in translucent black plastic, creating a striking visual effect reminiscent of Permet Score levels. Complementing this captivating feature, the kit includes effect stickers designed to be placed beneath the translucent shells, further enhancing the illusion of mystical power and allure.

In addition to its amazing appearance, the Gundam Calibarn offers an alternative shell unit with an iridescent glow effect, providing collectors and builders with a captivating display option. The kit also includes an alternative v-fin with the same iridescent effect, enabling customization and personalization to suit individual preferences.

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 Gundam series. A technique called colour separation, where multiple parts of the model are molded in different colours on the same sprue is also used. Gundam 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

Will the build quality be compromised because these kits are under $40?

Absolutely not! While they're budget-friendly, these kits maintain the high standards and quality you'd expect from any Gunpla kit. They're designed to offer an affordable entry without skimping on the details.

Are these under $40 kits suitable for beginners?

Yes, they're perfect for both beginners and seasoned builders. The price might be lower, but the experience is just as rewarding!

Do these kits come with all necessary parts and decals?

Absolutely! Every kit is complete with all parts and decals. No hidden surprises – just pure Gunpla fun.

Are these cheaper kits smaller in size?

Not necessarily. While some might be smaller scales or simpler designs, the size varies. The price reflects the complexity and not the stature.

Will I need to buy additional tools or paints for these kits?

While many builders love to customise and use extra tools or paints, these kits come with everything you need for the standard build

Saved the Best for Last

Calibarn was definitely my favourite build of the HG's from Witch From Mercury.

Build was different to that of LFrith, Aerial, Aerial Rebuild, LFrith's Ur & Thorn

I decided to go with the pink eyes for something different then generic green, plus gives it more character with the rainbow V fin.

Included stand is a welcome addition for posing.

pros: fun build, broom is excellent and visually striking, good shaping of parts -particularly for the chest, rainbow horns really good
cons: poor balance, monochrome is bland, faceplate looks bad and makes me want to replace it with aerials, theres a set of 16 stickers on the end of broom that are painful and repetitive, rainbow stickers don't show up too well unless brightly lit up
