Bandai 1/100 MGEX Unicorn Gundam Ver Ka
The model kit was really nice the one issue I had is that the right arm was a bit too loose for liking
Great price for a great pair of tweezers.

Read MoreGunpla (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.
Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt" is set in the One Year War and centers on the Thunderbolt Sector, a debris-filled battlefield. The Gunpla models like the RX-78 Gundam Ground Type S and MS-06 Zaku II Thunderbolt recreate the iconic mecha from this series, allowing you to relive the intense battles and rivalries in your own collection.
It depends on your skill level and preferences. High Grade (HG) offers an accessible build with good articulation. Master Grade (MG) provides higher detail and complexity, while Real Grade (RG) balances both. Choose the one that suits your building skills and desire for detail.
These Gunpla models typically come as unassembled kits with coloured parts, but for added realism, you can enhance them with custom paintwork. Painting is optional, and you can still create impressive models without it.
Absolutely! Gunpla models are designed for customisation. You can modify them with additional parts, decals, and even weathering techniques to make your Thunderbolt Gunpla uniquely yours.
