Great base, although having it at a significant height means having to centre the model so as to not tip it over.
The main battleships from the Mars Defense line, as seen in "Space Battleship Yamato 2202," is the subject of this kit from Bandai! You get parts to build both ships, as well as parts for eight in-scale 3-seat Cosmo Tigers which can be displayed on the included bases together with the larger ships. These kits can also be lighted with LEDs (sold separately) if you like. Also includes foil stickers and waterslide decals.Â

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.
Yes! This set boasts pre-painted models of both D-1 Dreadnoughts, letting you display the full might of the Mars Defense Line. Witness their imposing presence side-by-side or showcase each one individually for different display options.
This set generously includes eight pre-painted Cosmo Tigers, the iconic escort fighters of the D-1s. Deploy them for a full-scale defense line display or attach them to the Dreadnoughts for a dynamic, battle-ready presentation.
The models themselves don't have built-in LEDs, but they are compatible with separately sold LED units. Illuminate the bridge, main guns, and engines of each D-1 to bring the Mars Defense Line to life with optional lighting!
While snap-fit construction simplifies things, the size and intricate details of both ships and fighters require some experience and patience. If you're a beginner, you might want to start with a simpler Space Battleship Yamato kit before tackling this impressive set.
The U.N.C.F.D-1 Dreadnought Class Mars Defense Line Set can be found at online hobby stores and specialty retailers. The price typically ranges between $60 and $80 USD, depending on availability and retailer. Shop around for the best deal and prepare to defend the Martian front lines!
