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.
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.
No, unfortunately, the 1/144 HGIBO Hyakuren - Amida doesn't transform into the powerful Graze Ein like it does in Iron-Blooded Orphans. This kit focuses on the mobile suit form piloted by Amida Arca.
The Hyakuren - Amida features decent articulation for an HG kit, allowing for good range of movement in the arms, legs, and head. You can achieve some dynamic poses, especially wielding its large Naginata weapon. However, keep in mind that the bulkier shoulder armor might limit certain poses compared to other HGIBO kits.
Yes! The Hyakuren - Amida comes equipped with its iconic Naginata, a large polearm with a devastating blade. This weapon is the Hyakuren's main form of offense and a key part of its visual identity.
The Hyakuren - Amida is considered a moderately challenging kit for beginners. While the parts count isn't overwhelming, some sections like the Naginata and head crest can be delicate and require careful assembly. If you're new to Gunpla, having some prior experience with simpler kits might be helpful.
There are limited aftermarket parts available for the Hyakuren - Amida compared to more popular Gundams. However, you can find water slide decals for additional markings and some custom head or chest pieces to personalize your model.
