Bandai 1/100 MGEX Unicorn Gundam Ver Ka

Great price for a great pair of tweezers.
The "Sniper" version of the GM Custom (as seen in Gundam 08th MS Team). The standard RGM-79[G] were built as cheap ground-pounders with this variant being built in limited numbers for long range sniping and support roles. The kit is a standard Master Grade release from top to bottom, and for those of you who have never built one, that means it's incredible!
Complete inner detail is provided for the legs, cockpit, backpack unit, etc. Fully posable hands are just part of the completely posable structure that lets you duplicate virtually any scene you can think of. Comes with beam Sabre, Long Range Beam Rifle - sniper type (external power pack is not supplied), 100mm machine-gun, missile launcher, beam rifle and shield. Quite the weapons package!

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.
