Key features
  1. Asymmetrical Design: One of the standout features of the Gundam Astaroth is its asymmetrical design. The mobile suit has mismatched armor and weaponry, indicative of its history of being stripped for parts and then rebuilt using components from various other mobile suits. This gives the Astaroth a unique appearance, different from the typical symmetrical designs of most Gundams.
  2. Demolition Knife and Rifle: A key weapon in Astaroth's arsenal is its oversized Demolition Knife, which can be folded and stored on its back when not in use. This weapon is complemented by its submachine gun, giving the Gundam a balance of ranged and melee combat options.
  3. Adaptive Armour System: The Gundam Astaroth features an armour system that can be adjusted based on combat needs. The right shoulder carries a large protective armour plate, while the left features a more streamlined design. This adaptive system allows the Gundam to optimise its defense and mobility, depending on the combat scenario.

In conclusion, the Bandai 1/144 HGIBO Gundam Astaroth brings to life the resilience and adaptability of a mobile suit that has seen numerous battles and rebuilds. Its unique design, combined with its powerful weaponry and adaptive features, makes it a captivating model for any Gunpla enthusiast interested in the deeper lore of the "Iron-Blooded Orphans" universe.

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.
