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.

Comments: If I was asked in having an interest in building this kit again... honestly I'd say no. However doesn't mean I regret building it.
NPS score:
0 (Not at all likely)
10 (Extremely likely)
Proof Zoids are for display

As the title suggests, my second Zoids kit was a real test of patience, also proves that they are kits are for display only.

Not display & play like Gunpla.

Main body is the main fragile point of the kit, especially when connecting the dorsal section to the underbelly section & same can be said for the installation of the legs.... parts fly away.

The cannon is more than likely the reason you're getting this kit.
As you'll see in provided photos, the cannon is impressive in size & aesthetic looks.
However like the main body it has flaws but very minor, when raising the cannon for long range fire, the mesh cables will come out & the small connection to the housing unit

So in Gunpla term, is this a hand grenade kit?
Yes it is, hence the 3 star rating.

Would I still recommend it?
Absolutely! Still an aesthetically pleasing display piece.
