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.

GUNZ FOR DAYZ

This is a beastly looking kit and looks awesome even with it just posed clenching its fists. This is definitely an older kit and has joints that require screws going into poly caps. The first kit I've ran into using this method so the build wasn't as satisfying as even a 2.0 kit but none the less it still looks fantastic. The hands really show the age of the kit with a lot of flashing on the underside of the fingers but a bit of clean up with a fresh blade will take care of it. The hose that goes around the waist frays easily so to make it easier on yourself burn the ends to make it look and fit neatly. If you're attached to the design and you collect MG you are going to want this even with it's shortcomings.

One other thing I will mention is that you get a cardboard poster in the box like the older perfect grade kits which I appreciate.
