Assembly Guide

Skill Level.1. Most adults & children can assemble Skill Level 1 kits with little to no difficulty. Very basic hobby tools are recommended including a pair of nippers, a hobby knife, but are not essential. No Glue is needed for these kits. Kits are all snap together build and most parts can be removed by twisting and pushing without the need to snip with nippers.

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

I've never tried Gunpla before. Is the Entry Grade (EG) line suitable for beginners like me?

Absolutely! The EG line is Bandai's tailored gift for newcomers. These kits are meticulously designed for simplicity, allowing you to dive into the world of Gunpla without any intimidation. And the best part? No need for nippers or hobby knives – just twist, snap and build!

While I appreciate simplicity, I don't want a static model. Do EG kits offer any poseability?

You're in for a treat! Despite their beginner-friendly nature, EG kits don't skimp on poseability. These models are surprisingly articulate, with a good range of motion in various joints. They're simplicity, yes, but without compromising on the fun!

I've heard about these kits being pretty affordable. How do they manage that without losing quality?

Bandai's magic, if you ask me! While priced attractively – often under $25.00 – Bandai ensures that each EG kit maintains its trademark quality. They've streamlined the design and production but retained the essence of what makes Gunpla amazing.

Do these kits come in a range of designs, or is it just basic models?

While the original EG line started with just four models, Bandai's 2020 reboot welcomed an array of franchises, from Dragon Ball to My Hero Academia. So, there's a delightful assortment for every enthusiast to choose from. Dive in and pick your favourite!

With the no-nipper feature, are these kits particularly kid-friendly?

Spot on! Bandai's redesigned gate system means younger builders can easily snap off parts without the need for tools. It's a safer, less fiddly experience, ensuring even the little ones can join in on the Gunpla adventure without a hitch.
