Key features

High Detail and Articulation: The HGUC Gundam GP01Fb boasts impressive detail for its 1/144 scale, capturing the iconic design of the mobile suit from Gundam: 0083 Stardust Memory. The kit features sharp panel lines, intricate vents and hatches, and even molded-in markings for a realistic look. Additionally, the articulation is excellent, allowing for a wide range of poses thanks to ball joints and polycaps at key points.
Full Burners and Core Fighter II: This kit distinguishes itself from other HGUC GP01 releases by including the powerful Full Burners on the backpack. These large thruster units add a striking visual element and enhance the GP01Fb's mobility lore. Additionally, the kit comes with parts to build a Core Fighter II, the mobile suit's detachable cockpit, further expanding its display and play options.
Snap-fit Assembly and Color Accuracy: The HGUC line is known for its easy-to-assemble kits, and the GP01Fb is no exception. The parts snap together without glue, making it ideal for both experienced and beginner modelers. Furthermore, the plastic comes pre-colored in a variety of shades, accurately representing the GP01Fb's color scheme, reducing the need for painting for those who prefer a simpler build.

Bandai 1/144 HGUC RX-78 GP01Fb - E.F.S.F. Prototype Multipurpose Mobile Suit

After suffering heavy damage while en route to Von Braun, the RX-78GP01 was retooled into the RX-78GP01Fb Gundam Full Vernian at the Anaheim Electronics facility on the Moon. The Full Vernian unit differs from the regular unit in a couple of ways. First, it has a set of Universal Boost Pods mounted behind the shoulder for better maneuverability. Secondly, the GP01's wings were removed and replaced with additional fuel units - the Universal Boost Pods replace the wings on the GP01. All of these modifications are reflected in the kit, which features all the poseability and articulation you've come to expect. Accessories include shield, beam saber and beam rifle!

Assembly Guide

SKILL LEVEL REQUIRED

Skill Level.1. Most adults & children can assemble Skill Level 1 kits with little to no difficulty. Very basic hobby tools are recommended including a pair of nippers, a hobby knife, but are not essential. No Glue is needed for these kits. Kits are all snap together build and most parts can be removed by twisting and pushing without the need to snip with nippers.

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.
