HG Seed #44 GAT-X1022 Blu Duel Gundam

$21.99

The GAT-X1022 Blu Duel Gundam is a heavily modified variant of the GAT-X102 Duel Gundam Assault Shroud constructed as a part of the Actaeon Project. This project sought to create more powerful versions of the stolen “G Project” Mobile Suits for the Phantom Pain’s team of aces. The GAT-X1022 Blu Duel Gundam uses new Variable Phase Shift Armor, increasing its defensive capabilities. The GAT-X1022 Blu Duel Gundam’s additional armor plating is no longer jettisonable, a necessary compromise to ensure the full functionality of the VPS Armor System. The Earth Alliance designed each of the Actaeon Project Mobile Suits with different combat characteristics meant to work in tandem with each other on the battlefield. The GAT-X1022 Blu Duel Gundam focuses on close-quarters combat, which makes sense given its lack of handheld rifle.

Here’s what Bandai included alongside the GAT-X1022 Blu Duel Gundam for accessories:

  • Anti-Beam Shield
  • Beam Saber x2
  • Stiletto Holding Hand
  • Display Stand
  • Duel Gundam Beam Rifle


Articulation
 –

The HG GAT-X1022 Blu Duel Gundam will be a familiar feeling build if you’ve assembled other HG Seed kits from this period. The GAT-X1022 Blu Duel Gundam uses a basic polycap construction to provide a fully articulate completed model. The GAT-X1022 Blu Duel Gundam even features double-jointed knees!. The Shoulder Shield’s sub-arm uses a ball joint connection, allowing the builders to rotate the shield. The completed GAT-X1022 Blu Duel Gundam uses under 150 pieces, making it an excellent choice for a first-time builder or an easy addition to an already vast Gunpla collection.

Weapons and Other Notable Attributes 

Hiding inside the GAT-X1022 Blu Duel Gundam’s forearms are a pair of retractable Beam Pistols, each mounted with two articulation points for a sweet weapon deployment gimmick. The Railgun mounted to the shield’s interior rotates on its attachment point for easy posing! The most intriguing accessory in this package is the Stiletto knife holding hand, which recreates the GAT-X1022 Blu Duel Gundam’s iconic pose, carrying three of the explosive Stiletto Knives between its fingers. Although it’s not officially a part of the GAT-X1022 Blu Duel Gundam’s loadout, the original Duel Gundam’s Beam Rifle still made its way into this model kit! Now you can give your GAT-X1022 Blu Duel Gundam some extra long-range firepower or use it to customize your other High Grade Gundam model kits.

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 HG Seed #44 GAT-X1022 Blu Duel Gundam 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.
