Get ready for a stellar trip down memory lane with the all-new Real Grade (RG) model kit of Gundam Epyon from "Mobile Suit Gundam Wing." This isn't your ordinary Epyon—Bandai has seriously leveled up! The iconic Epyon is now kitted out with epic features. Picture this: a beam sword that Epyon wields effortlessly, thanks to the new mechanisms optimizing its use. And here's the game-changer: Epyon can transform into a double-headed pterosaur. Yup, you heard that right! But there's more: increased torso flexibility allowing for dynamic forward bends, locked hip joints for those power stances, enhanced wrist and forearm mobility, and brilliantly designed shoulder armor. Kneeling poses? A breeze with non-interfering knee blades. Let's not forget the adjustable wing height, the opening and closing pterosaur mouths, and that intricate neck joint system for the transformation. The heat rod's flexibility? Top-notch! The beam sword even has a nifty lead wire connecting it to its mount latch. In the box, you'll find the beam sword, shield, heat rod, and various other accessories, including decals, ensuring your model is decked out to perfection. Bandai has outdone itself, making this classic Gundam Epyon an absolute must-have. Ready to add this masterpiece to your collection?

    Assembly Guide

    Skill Level.3. Basic modeling skills are essential. These kits are not recommended for beginners or children due to the high level of complexity of assembly and the sheer volume of parts. Experience in building more complex Gunpla models is recommended. Parental supervision is essential. A full set of hobby tools is recommended that includes, nippers, hobby knives, sandpaper, sanding sticks, files, buffing files, glues, tweezers, and decal adhesive/softener. 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.
