Assembly Guide

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.

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

What exactly are the 30 Minutes Sisters (30MS) kits?

The 30MS kits are a plastic model kit series introduced by Bandai Hobby in 2021. Unlike traditional mecha models, these kits allow enthusiasts to create and customise mecha girls, blending both mecha and anime elements.

How are the models categorised within the 30MS series?

The kits are primarily categorised based on "body types": A, G, S, with newer T and D types. Each type represents different proportions, such as height, ensuring varied customization options for builders.

Can I mix and match parts from different 30MS kits?

Absolutely! One of the main selling points of the 30MS series is the interchangeability of parts across the models. However, it's worth noting that while most parts are compatible, certain combinations, like thighs from different body types, might not aesthetically align.

Are there additional parts or accessories available for these kits?

Yes, Bandai offers a plethora of option parts for the 30MS kits, ranging from hairstyles to thematic outfits like swimsuits and maid ensembles. There's also the "Option Hand Parts" set, which provides extra poseability through additional necks, head parts, and hand poses.

Do I need any glue or paint to complete these 30MS kits?

No, The pieces are designed to fit together snugly without adhesive. Out of the box, 30MM kits come molded in specific colours. Painting is not necessary to complete the model, but many enthusiasts choose to paint their kits to customise the appearance.
