Assembly Guide

SKILL LEVEL REQUIRED
Skill Level.2 Basic modeling skills are required. Parental supervision may be required for younger children. These kits are generally suitable for beginner builders. A basic set of modeling tools are required including nippers, hobby knife, sanding sticks/paper, file, and tweezers. No glue is needed for the general assembly. Parts will need to be removed by using a pair of nippers and cutting the part away from the runner. Parts may require clean-up where they were removed from the runner.
No Cement Required

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.

No Painting Required

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

What is the storyline of "Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt," and how does it relate to the Gunpla models?

Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt" is set in the One Year War and centers on the Thunderbolt Sector, a debris-filled battlefield. The Gunpla models like the RX-78 Gundam Ground Type S and MS-06 Zaku II Thunderbolt recreate the iconic mecha from this series, allowing you to relive the intense battles and rivalries in your own collection.

Which Gunpla grade should I choose for the best experience?

It depends on your skill level and preferences. High Grade (HG) offers an accessible build with good articulation. Master Grade (MG) provides higher detail and complexity, while Real Grade (RG) balances both. Choose the one that suits your building skills and desire for detail.

Are the Gunpla models pre-painted or do I need to paint them myself?

These Gunpla models typically come as unassembled kits with coloured parts, but for added realism, you can enhance them with custom paintwork. Painting is optional, and you can still create impressive models without it.

Can I customise the Gunpla models from the Thunderbolt series?

Absolutely! Gunpla models are designed for customisation. You can modify them with additional parts, decals, and even weathering techniques to make your Thunderbolt Gunpla uniquely yours.

Is there a community or resources available for builders of Thunderbolt Gunpla?

Yes, the Gunpla community is vast and supportive. You can find tutorials, forums, and social media groups dedicated to Gunpla building, including Thunderbolt models. Sharing your work and learning from others can be a rewarding part of the hobby. We encourage builders within our community to share their experiences on our Facebook and Instagram pages as well as leave reviews on our website.
