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 are the different grades of Gunpla, and how do they differ?

Q: What are the different grades of Gunpla, and how do they differ? A: Gunpla kits come in various grades, including Entry Grade (EG formally FG) High Grade (HG), Master Grade (MG), Perfect Grade (PG), Real Grade (RG), and Super Deformed (SD). Each grade varies in size, complexity, articulation, and detail, with PG being the most detailed and largest among standard models, while SDs are chibi-style representations of Gundam mobile suits.

How do I start with Gunpla building if I'm a beginner?

Start with an EG, HG or SD kit, as they are simpler and require minimal tools. Alternatively choose one of Gundam Express Australia's customised beginner boxes. Ensure you have a pair of plastic nippers and, optionally, a hobby knife and fine grit sandpaper. Follow the instruction manual, cut parts carefully from the runners, and piece them together. Over time, you can advance to more intricate models and detailing techniques.

Do I need to paint my Gunpla?

Painting is optional. Kits come pre-coloured, so painting is primarily for those who want to customize or achieve a specific look. If you decide to paint, acrylic or enamel hobby paints are recommended, along with proper priming.

How can I make my Gunpla look even more realistic?

Techniques like panel lining, using decals, weathering, and top-coating can enhance the realism of a kit. Panel lining emphasizes details, decals add logos and warnings, weathering gives a battle-worn look, and top-coating seals everything with a matte or glossy finish.

Are there limited edition or rare Gunpla kits?

Yes, Bandai regularly releases limited edition, event-exclusive, or special coating versions of kits. These can be more challenging to find and might be pricier than standard releases. Collectors often seek these kits for their uniqueness. Common names included:- P-Bandai (premium Bandai), Gundam Base Limited, and Event Limited

Like a big HG IBO kit

This was an interesting build. It feels a lot like a bigger, more solid HG IBO kit. I mean, you can pick it up and shake it like a blocked up salt shaker and it won't budge. The articulation is pretty good too. The elbows rotate more than 90 degrees, it's knees allow it to kick it's own rear waist armor, and it can almost do the splits without using the drop-down joint in the waist. The shoulder armor does limit the arms upward rotation out to the side, but they still make it more than 90 degrees before it interferes.

There isn't really much to dislike about the quality of the build. My biggest gripes, however, are the lack of head movement, and the lack of extra stuff.

The neck is a stationary ball joint, which would be fine except that the underside of the head has a large sort of box that slots almost perfectly into the chest, so there is literally zero side to side movement of the head. Or tilting side to side for that matter. The head can be pulled upwards, however, to allow some up and down rotation.

The lack of any real extras is also a bit of a downside. The only options you have are open or closed hands. The weapon you get with it is really nice, with a detachable magazine and underbarrel grenade launcher (at least I think that's what it is), but again, that's all you get.

You also a very small sticker sheet with it for the eye camera. I haven't seen the anime that the Jo Hound comes from yet, but my understanding is that there is a war happening in it. You kind of need insignias or symbols with which to identify combatants so you don't shoot your own guys, right?

In all, I think this a rather nice kit with an interesting design, great articulation and solid build quality. I'm definitely going to have a look at some of the other kits from this series.
