Utilized by the UN Forces, this mecha was designed after a leak of data from Celestial Being allowing the manufacture of solar furnaces. These mecha are usually used en masse and contain the same GN drive as a Gundam Throne, and thus can stand up to a Gundam. A relatively simple kit, this HG GN-X is good for beginning modelers. The instructions are simple and easy to understand, and the pieces are molded in colour and snap together, so you can complete the model without glue or paint. Stickers are included for the purple sections. For best durability and appearance, gluing and painting are possible. Multiple armaments are included to be modeled, including a beam rifle, as well as a longer barrel attachment, shield, and two swords. Interchangeable hands allow for swapping of weapons after completion.

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.
The assembled 1/144 HG GN-X model kit stands approximately 13cm tall. The box size is 31cm x 19cm x 7.5cm.
The GN-X is classified as a High Grade (HG) model kit, which means it is relatively easy to assemble and requires minimal glueing. Some parts may require minor trimming or filing to ensure a proper fit. However, it is generally considered a good kit for beginners with some prior experience.
Yes, the GN-X model kit comes equipped with a GN Beam Rifle, a GN Shield, and two GN Beam Sabers. The beam rifle can be mounted on the backpack or held in the hands, while the shield can be attached to either arm. The beam sabers are stored in the GN-X's forearms and can be swung out for combat.
The GN-X has excellent articulation, allowing for a wide range of poses. The arms and legs have a good range of motion, and the shoulders and elbows have double-jointed construction for even greater flexibility. The head can also move up and down, and the GN-X's signature "Trans-Am" mode can be recreated by rotating the head 180 degrees.
The 1/144 HG GN-X is a well-made kit with good detail and articulation. It is priced competitively with other HG kits and is a good value for the money. With its iconic design, multiple weapon options, and excellent posability, the GN-X is a great addition to any Gundam model collection.
