The Real Grade Gundam Astray Red Frame: The most detailed and poseable version of this iconic mobile suit yet!
This new Real Grade kit features a completely redesigned inner frame that is based on the idea that a Mobile Suit would not move identically to a human body. The newly designed inner frame corresponds to the skeleton, and the outer frame serves as the muscle structure. This gives the Gundam Astray Red Frame a wider range of motion and more realistic proportions.
The kit also includes a variety of weapons and accessories, including the Gerbera Straight katana, a beam rifle, a shield, two beam sabers, and a pilot figure. With its stunning detail and poseability, the Real Grade Gundam Astray Red Frame is the perfect way to bring this iconic mobile suit to life.

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.
