IBO HG 1/144 - Hyakuri

The highly mobile STH-14s Hyakuri joins the High Grade lineup in this 1/144 scale IBO HG version from Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans. Developed by Teiwaz and notably used by the Turbines, this Mobile Suit piloted by Lafter Frankland specializes in reconnaissance missions and high-speed combat in space.

The Hyakuri immediately stands out with its imposing multifunctional backpack, integrating propulsion systems, detection equipment, and storage for its weaponry. This configuration allows it to achieve significant mobility while maintaining a silhouette very different from other Mobile Suits built around the Teiwaz Frame.

This High Grade version allows for the reproduction of the Hyakuri's characteristic Flight Form thanks to several interchangeable parts. The arms can be removed and stored directly inside the backpack, thus recreating its compact silhouette designed for high-speed movement.

The kit also includes a dedicated display base, particularly practical for showcasing the Hyakuri in Flight Form and reproducing its aerial or spatial maneuvers without needing an additional Action Base.

Its main armament consists of two JEE-101 110 mm Rifles. These rifles can be used simultaneously in Mobile Suit Form or folded and installed on the sides of the backpack, allowing the Hyakuri to maintain its firepower during its movements.

The lower parts of the backpack also serve as Knuckle Shields. They can be detached and then installed on the forearms to serve as both protection and weapons for close combat.

Gunpla Zone Tips

The Flight Form requires manipulating and removing several elements of the model. When changing configurations, grasp the arms and various parts directly at their attachment points to avoid excessive pressure on the joints.

The backpack represents a significant portion of the Hyakuri's volume. For display in Mobile Suit Form, take the time to adjust the position of the legs and pelvis to maintain good balance, or simply use the included base for more dynamic poses.

The large armor surfaces of the Hyakuri are particularly well-suited for light panel lining. A few touch-ups on the thrusters, rifles, and mechanical details of the backpack also help enhance its appearance as a unit specializing in space combat.
