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.
The included figure with the 1/144 Shenlong Gundam is typically static, meaning its pose is fixed and it cannot be moved around like the Gundam model itself. However, some rarer versions might have an articulated figure, so be sure to check the specific product description or ask the seller for clarification.
Yes, the 1/144 Shenlong Gundam typically comes with its signature weapons, including: Dragon Hang: A large claw mounted on the Gundam's arm for close-quarters combat. Beam Saber: A classic energy sword for melee attacks. Shenlong Shield: A large shield shaped like a dragon's head, sometimes equipped with beam emitters.
The detail level of the 1/144 Shenlong Gundam can vary depending on the specific release. Some older versions might have simpler moldings and fewer panel lines, while newer kits tend to be more intricate and accurate to the anime design.
In most cases, the included figure will be roughly to scale with the 1/144 Shenlong Gundam model. This means it will be much smaller than the Gundam itself, but still proportional for display purposes. However, some figure versions might be slightly larger or smaller than the intended scale, so checking product details or reviews beforehand is recommended.
The 1/144 Shenlong Gundam is generally considered a good choice for both beginners and experienced modelers. The parts count is moderate, and the construction process is straightforward with clear instructions. Beginners might need some adult assistance with smaller or trickier parts, but overall it's a manageable build.
