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.
The HGAC Wing Zero offers several improvements over the older HG versions: Enhanced articulation: The new kit features improved joint design and placement, allowing for a wider range of dynamic poses and action-oriented displays. Modern detailing: Sharper moldings capture the Wing Zero's design in greater detail, offering a more realistic and refined appearance. Wing expansion gimmick: The HGAC Wing Zero features a functional wing expansion gimmick, replicating the iconic transformation sequence from the anime. Twin Buster Rifle effect parts: These parts add visual impact to the Wing Zero's signature weapon when in use.
The HGAC Wing Zero is considered a moderate-difficulty build, suitable for builders with some experience. The wing transformation gimmick requires careful handling and attention, but the instructions are clear and detailed, and the parts are mostly snap-fit. However, careful handling is necessary for smaller parts and intricate mechanisms.
In addition to its iconic Twin Buster Rifle and beam saber, the HGAC Wing Zero kit includes: Display stand: Showcase the Wing Zero in various poses with the included stand. Foil sticker sheet: Enhance the model's details and markings with the provided stickers. Wing effect parts: These parts add visual impact to the Wing Zero's wings when in flight mode. Interchangeable hand parts: Choose from different hand options to suit your desired pose and display. Beam Saber effect parts: As previously mentioned, these parts add visual dynamism and impact to the weapon.
Considering the improved articulation, modern detailing, wing expansion gimmick, Twin Buster Rifle effect parts, and included accessories, the HGAC Wing Zero offers good value for its price. It's a great choice for fans of Gundam Wing, those who appreciate the Wing Zero's iconic design and transformation sequence, and builders who enjoy a moderate challenge with rewarding results.
