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.
Ask the seller for detailed photos or reviews that compare the kit's colors to the anime's G-Armor. This helps manage expectations and ensures you're getting the desired shade.
Ask the seller about the specific color differences, like whether the Real Type Color uses a more muted or weathered palette compared to the standard kit. This could impact your preference based on your desired aesthetic.
Confirm if the Real Type Color version includes the G-Fighter unit, as some releases might only focus on the G-Armor itself. Knowing this helps you plan your display options and budget accordingly.
Ask about the paint application quality, whether it's smooth and consistent or has any visible imperfections. Knowing the finish helps you decide if additional painting or detailing is necessary.
Ask if the seller has any specific recommendations for cleaning or handling the pre-painted parts to prevent damage or fading. Knowing any special care requirements helps you keep your G-Armor looking its best.
