Thanks for the nice deal.. I'm so lucky that I got the last one I think till next transaction
Great base, although having it at a significant height means having to centre the model so as to not tip it over.

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.
Confirm which specific Bandai 1/100 Guncannon kit this conversion kit is designed for (e.g., HGUC, MG). Knowing the exact model compatibility ensures you have the right base kit for the transformation.
Ask about the complexity of the conversion steps and the type of modifications required. Are there parts to cut, glue, or sand? Knowing the skill level needed helps you decide if it's a suitable project for your experience.
Confirm if the kit includes weapons, armor parts, or decals specific to the RX-77D variant. Knowing what's included helps manage expectations and display possibilities.
Ask if the conversion affects the existing joint points or articulation range of the base Guncannon kit. Knowing if you can still achieve iconic Guncannon poses with the RX-77D modification is important.
Ask for detailed photos or reviews comparing the converted model to the RX-77D's appearance in the anime or manga. This helps manage expectations for the overall look and feel of the final build.
