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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Scale & Shelf Presence: How big is this behemoth, and will it fit on my display?

The 1/1000 scale Asuka measures around 39 x 31.3 x 8.4 cm, so it's a sizeable model but not a space hog. Consider your available display space and whether you want it to be the centerpiece or part of a larger fleet.

Upgraded Arsenal or Classic Cannon? What firepower does this Asuka pack?

This upgraded version boasts additional details and weaponry compared to the standard Asuka. It features heavy beam cannons, missile launchers, and even smaller escort ships that add to its defensive capabilities. Display the Asuka ready to protect the EDF fleet!

Interior Intrigue? Does it peek inside the ship, showcasing cargo and crew?

The exterior is the main focus of this kit, but some versions might offer subtle details or windows hinting at the internal workings. Don't expect a fully detailed interior at this scale, but the overall design evokes the Asuka's role as a mobile supply base.

Assembly Challenge for Experienced Captains Only?

The 1/1000 scale makes it manageable for intermediate modelers. Snap-fit construction simplifies assembly, but the size and intricate details still require patience and some experience. If you're a beginner, start with a simpler EDF ship before tackling this mighty flagship.

Price & Availability: Where can I chart a course to find this Asuka?

The upgraded Asuka can be found at online hobby stores and specialty retailers. The price typically ranges between $50 and $70 USD, depending on availability and retailer. Shop around for the best deal and secure your command of the EDF supply lines!
