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.
Centered around "Mobile Suit Gundam AGE," the AG timeline chronicles a protracted war between Earth and the Unknown Enemy (UE), spanning three generations of the Asuno family, each with its own Gundam pilot.
The series is unique in its division into three arcs, each spotlighting a different Asuno family member—Flit, Asemu, and Kio—as they confront the evolving UE threat, offering varied perspectives on war, legacy, and reconciliation.
The Unknown Enemy, later revealed as the Vagan, serve as the main adversaries. Originating from space settlers left to perish, their intent is to reclaim Earth, presenting a tale of vengeance, miscommunication, and the quest for home.
Throughout the series, mobile suit development is paramount. Flit Asuno's initial AGE system evolves, reflecting technological advances across generations and the shifting dynamics of warfare.
"Gundam AGE" is notable for its family saga approach, game-like mobile suit customization, and its attempt to appeal to a younger audience while maintaining core Gundam themes of conflict and understanding.
The kit is solid and has excellent articulation and colour accuracy, the decals are minimalist and are subtle when applied, and the accessory options of beam sabers, the rifle, and shield provide nice options for posing. The price point is also a fantastic selling point and makes it an excellent MG to start with when wanting to move up from lower grades
Very nice articulation, basic set of accessories like the rifle, shield and beam sabers but this kit has very sturdy hands, like the stickers that goes behind the clear plastic on the head and torso and the stickers that feel like a thick plastic on the knees go nice with colour correction. But the big thing that I focused on more than most was its spoiler and all those vents in the arms and legs which are definitely not seen in the anime or art of it.
Released back in 2012, this 10 year old kit is still solid as rock.
The design is beautiful and beginner to friendly to first timers of the MG line.
As always if you haven't built this kit, what are you waiting for?
