$21.99

The RX-79BD-1 Blue Destiny Unit 1 EXAM model kit remasters the original HGUC #80 RX-79BD-1 Blue Destiny Unit 1 from the ground up! This version has redesigned proportions and tons of new surface detail for builders to enjoy. Bandai updated the color scheme to better match its appearance in media. The EXAM system allows the pilot to unlock the full capabilities of the Mobile Suit for a short time. This ability allowed the RX-79BD-1 Blue Destiny Unit 1 to compete with Newtype use Mobile Suits.

The accessories for the RX-79BD-1 Blue Destiny Unit 1 EXAM include:

  • 100mm Machine Gun
  • Shield
  • Beam Saber x2


Articulation
 –

The RX-79BD-1 Blue Destiny Unit 1 EXAM model kit shares many similarities with the HGUC #210 RX-79[G] Gundam Ground Type, which Bandai released shortly after. Both of these kits build up wonderfully thanks to the many modern engineering techniques used. The instructions are clear and easy enough to follow for builders of any age or skill level. This model has lots of intelligent parts separation, so the color-correcting stickers are minimal. Bandai added optional Red sensor stickers to recreate the RX-79BD-3 Blue Destiny Unit 3 with the EXAM system activated.

Weapons and Other Notable Attributes 

The Blue Destiny Unit 1 includes an optional antenna for recreating NAOKI’s artwork for the Mobile Suit Gundam Side Story: The Blue Destiny manga. Remove the parts listed in the instructions to display the RX-79BD-1 Blue Destiny Unit 1 in EXAM mode. The RX-79BD-1 Blue Destiny Unit 1 features the same Machine Gun and Shield as the Gundam Ground Type. The connection arm for the Shield articulates, allowing for better posing when attached to the Mobile Suit.

Tips and Tricks –

By implementing the technique of Top Coating, you can do a great deal to help preserve the longevity of your models. This process will protect the original plastic of your model kit and prepare it for any additional modeling techniques to follow.

You can drastically improve your results by making the details pop on the HGUC #207 RX-79BD-1 Blue Destiny Unit 1 EXAM with Panel Lining. The simplest solution for this is Gundam Markers or Tamiya Panel Line Fluid. If you’re up to a challenge making panel wash is always a great option too! It is always recommended to Topcoat with clear gloss beforehand, as some of the products commonly used for Panel Lining will degrade the untreated plastics over time.

Another way to keep adding detail is by applying Stickers/Marking DecalsTop Coating before the application will help decals stick to the surface much better. Using Top Coat after application will help hide the seams on traditional sticker decals as well as waterslides. This additional step will also keep them from peeling over time. Using Decals is a great way to add an even greater level of detail to your scale models.
